NOT an LT1. Taner has a long way to go, BOY.



That's stupendous!! You've got a full half second to go to run with the big boys.

I could go on and on.



Finally, some truth in your post!



No. It's guys like me who point out the cold hard facts, and guys like you with a false sense of reality get all upset and start pointing fingers and name calling. I was a SBC guy long before I picked up my LS1 car.

Have a nice day, BOY!
don't really see the joke here, but ok.

btw, still waiting on evidence of the 9 second stock bottom end naturally aspirated ls1.

Jesus Kraest. This car ran at the LSx shootout. THOUSANDS of people watched it happen, live. Dozens of skeptics scoured over the car and nobody called BS. Need a video, seriously? Will a 9.82 do for now? http://www.precisionracecomponents.com/982pass.wmv

Who cares what it weighed? Put your best heads/cam LT1 in that car and it would struggle to hit mid 10s, like those in the past.

i have cars with lt and ls motors so i am partial to neither. agree that the vid shows a 9.xx but i still have by doubts that that car's mods were as described - even at 2800 pounds

I doubt you own either a G8 or that you ever owned an LT1 car. Your sig isn't proof enough.

The car in question has been looked over by competitors of that shop just salivating for some shred of evidence to call BS. It's legit. Why don't you believe it? There are numerous other stock displacement naturally aspirated LS1 cars running 9s.

Come on guys... Allan Futral (I know him personally) of Futral Motorsports ran a 9.95 @ 136 on 347 pump gas cubes (.005" honed LS6 block to change the pistons) LS1 with a SIX SPEED.... like 5 years ago... on LS6 heads.. not the fancy things they have out these days.

We were refering to a STOCK BOTTOM END LS1 vs LT1
A honed LS6 block with aftermarket pistons and LS6 heads is not a H/C LS1. It's more along the lines of a Forged/Built LS6.

There are 355 N/A LT1's running 9's too(or should I say LT1 based engines, just like this modded LS6 you're refering to). And if there is someone that is really going to bitch about the 8ci's they need to get a life.

u guys are crazy fighting over this. just one or two people run down the other car and alot go nuts. both camaros. it comes down to how deep ur pockets are on just about any car really. from the factory the ls1 is a lil faster on top end. if u give the better flowing heads and cam to the lt1 to match the ls1 there really isnt much of a difference. people knock on hondas all the time cuz its a 4 banger or any other so called ricer but like i said with a deep pocket those things run lower single digits all day long. u guys are doing to each other that most of us do to the mustangs in comparing. they are all good motors for there size and power and year made.

Ummm.. Hello? That was an example of 5 YEARS AGO - to clarify some things --- Texas Speed has a heads/cam car (stock internals) that just went 9s. Do some research

my quotes had nothing to do with doing any research... you brought up a built LS6 engine with forged internals to refute someones point regarding a stock bottom end LS1

I love how the LS1 camp continually tries to speak of the superiority of their engine when it's been proven that the LT1 can be modded to be just as fast IN MOST SCENARIOS. I simply stated that pretty much stock cube LT1's can run 9's. Like the other guy said, it's all about deep pockets. Throw a single plane intake manifold and a set of converted 15 degree heads on an LT1 and there's no longer a noticeable gap.
