And how do you figure? The argument was made that LS-1's respond to mods better than the Modular Ford family of engines. These cars are simply having head work done, replacing the rods and pistons and adding a power adder. Last time I checked these were mods and were within my realm of argument. LS-1's with the same internal work with the same power adders are running slower. Again, these cars are modded, but are still running slower times. Everything I stated was a direct and factual rebuttal to said argument and made perfect sense.

But we won't find any tsbs on any Chevy, right? You are speculating on the '07 Camaro. I will then speculate that the new Cobra will whip the '07 Camaro. The '05 Gto also costs $10K+ dollars more than the new Stang and is a lot heavier.

However, to make it fair, if someone wants to say "what if GM put some forced induction on the LS1s in 2003 like the cobras have, we can still put a little shot of nitrous preferably, or some other forced induction on our little outdated LS1s and cause the 03/04 cobras to have to modify away to keep up. Godforbid we get fordged internals like the cobra or there is NO COMPETATION for an LS1 once that happens.
Well they didn't. They bowed out of the war and lost. Coulda, shoulda woulda.

Was that comment aimed at me? Just because I dont have 15,000 posts doesnt mean I'm a newbie. I didnt say anything to offend anyone, I was typing what I thought. I'm on this Forum a lot and have seen a lot of these arguments, I just wish I never responded.

too bad for you there won't be a 2007 camaro , and what was that about the 05 mustang having troubles, people are getting lined up to buy one, is not like the gto (grand am clone POS) that is not selling according to what pontiac was expecting, the 05 gto is getting the ls2 with 400 ponies, still the 03/04 cobra would kick its azz, you have mach1's and new mustang gt's that are running / would run side by side with ls1's.
so i don't know about that tradition you're talking about
the only thing gm has left is the forever almighty CORVETTE and would see what the next cobra would do to a z06

Re: SS Camaro VS 04 Mach 1 Video

Why must people always use the best in their situation versus the weakest in the "arguers" situation.

'Yeah, well an automatic LS1 has run a high 13 so they must ALL do that. 'Never mind that many people can break 13s with LT1 autos.

And look, look at this 5spd swapped Mustang with modifications, it runs faster than the worst representation of an automatic LS1.

See See! I'm right!

Steve Y you have just presented the most obvious logical fallacies.

My favorite one is when they go run on the track and leave themself a "handicap" so later they can blame a few tenths on that. Oh well, my air filter was dirty, oh I didn't have new tires, oh I didn't POWERSHIFT. Give me a break. Who doesn't "powershift" when they drag race, you are already raping your car might as well see what time it can pull.

Black 1998 Mustang GT- 2001 PI Motor, BBK Off Road X-Pipe, 2 Chamber Flows, CAI, K&N, Nitto Drag Radials

Best ET-13.463@102 w/1.921 60ft

In the fall, we will see.

Re: SS Camaro VS 04 Mach 1 Video

they come on these forums and talk trash because last year was the first year they could actually contend with the lt1 and ls1 yr for yr with the intro of the 03 cobra.lets see that 03 cobra vs a 4th gen zl1 camaro.hmmmmm.the reason i said the mustang is in troble for 05 is there is not going to be an 05 cobra,and im pretty damn sure the new ls2 gto will smack it around,and really give the artificially aspirated 03-04 cobra a run for its money if not blow it away with.if its anywhere near as fast as the 05 vette it will run 12s all day long.

Re: SS Camaro VS 04 Mach 1 Video

The lunacy of some of the stuff said in this forum is incredibly funny. However, it also means that there is no chance what-so-ever of having a reasonable discussion. However, I pulled one comment that made me so curious that I just had to ask a question about it...

I would really like to see that TSB. You see, I have a 99 4.6, and it used a bit of oil up until recently (engine rebuild) - about a quart every 2500 miles or so. Do you think it could be a leaky head gasket?

Thanks.

Re: SS Camaro VS 04 Mach 1 Video

its very likely it was leaking from the head gasket,thats what the 99-00 4.6 was bad for.i will admit it has less problems than the ls1 though not a better engine in my opinion.
