Re: lt1 ss vs. ls1 ss

I find it hard to believe that so many people here actually like the '93-'97 look. I own a '96, but love the look of the LS1 cars.

Ditto...or Red. The first LT1 SS I ever saw was a red 6-speed with t-tops & leather. I am on my 2nd F-body but have not had an SS yet...next time .

Re: lt1 ss vs. ls1 ss

Even more so now that that cam is in....LT1
I like the 97 most because it has the front of the older SS with the tail lights and interior of the newer SS. I never liked the fisheyes of the newer head lights.

Same here, the "catfish" look didn't do anything for me either. Now, before they came out MotorTrend had a concept drawn of what the new front end was going to look like. It looked awesome! Chevy should have done that instead of what they did. I'll see if I can find that issue and scan a copy. I may have thrown it out though....

Re: lt1 ss vs. ls1 ss

97 ss is where its at for me. IMO the oval headlights don't really fit the original lines of the 4th gen too well. but i like the newer interior. and black is definatly the way to go....

Re: lt1 ss vs. ls1 ss

LS1 SS no doubt,the LT1 isnt even in the equation for me...Id take a clean IROC over any clean LT1 any day of the week.

Re: lt1 ss vs. ls1 ss

I would take both its hard to choose.. 97s look is hot and im not a huge fan of the sebring look alike front end but i do like the newer look too. I would probraly have to say the newer style 98+ just because its newer and the ls1 came in it.

Re: lt1 ss vs. ls1 ss

I am the kind of person that generally likes newer cars over older ones but for camaros, I slightly like the lt1 look better. It's not that i dont like the ls1 look but I just like the lt1 look better. Looks aside and sound aside, i would get the ls1.

Re: lt1 ss vs. ls1 ss

The LS1 SS looks better than the LT1 SS.

BUT

The LT1's look better than the regular LS1's. I get LS1's confused with sebrings sometimes.

Re: lt1 ss vs. ls1 ss

Another vote for the LT1, but an LS1 comes in close second when equipped with chrome 10 spoke wheels.
