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.
Um..There's more to a car than just the engine.

You know what? You are absolutely correct. Please explain the non-engine, mechanically-relevant differences between a fast Mustang and a fast F-body. As this is obviously in reference to the fastest 4.6 vs the fastest LS1, I suggest using those as examples for you to base your explanation on.

Thanks.

Re: SS Camaro VS 04 Mach 1 Video

i don't know why the lt1 guys are crying this much about this topic. i don't see too many ls1's owners complaining here and as far as i know, those are the fast ones.

stop complaining about mustangs, after all, is just competition , more competition mean gm should think better and bring the fbody again, instead of putting more power into their australian grand am POS. even with an ls2 engine, a 03/04 cobra would kick their azzes, you know this already....

Generalizing aren't we? I have owned 3 f-bodies including one in the time I have been here (5 1/2 years) and have just as much right to be here as anyone else.

I know that perfectly well. Shall we talk rear ends? Seems that the Ford 8.8, which is almost the same design as the G.M. 12 bolt, is superior to the 10 bolt G.M. Everyone I have talked to and have heard from says that the Mustang was put together better than the F-body. Everyone usually agrees that the Mustang is easier to live with on a daily basis than the f-body. You are right, there is more to a car than just the engine

Dude, I'm just saying I don't think the 4.6L is a better engine than the LS1 EVEN though a car that has a 4.6L in it is quicker.

I agree with that, lol. The current gto sucks, even with the LS1 power plant. I dont think an LS2 would help it alot enough to content with some strong 03/04 cobras. That brings back the statement, its not just the motor that makes the car great. So the LS1 isnt the only good thing about fbodies. I dont think the 4.6 is a better motor then the Ls1, it was jsut to easy to get my car to run awsome times i havent seen any 4.6s accomplish as easy as some of the Ls1s.

Better is in the eyes of the beholder. I would honestly put the top iterations of both on equal footing.

Off topic, redcamaro, how does the LM sound with that xpipe?

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.
I was talking about Kamaro98's car. He has an automatic LS1. I was referring to a stock car like his because he was bashing me. I know 6-speeds have more potential. I didn't leave myself a "handicap." I just haven't made it to a track with timeslips yet with my current mods. It is 85 miles each way to a 4000' track and 140 miles each way to a sea level track for me. I will run the car in the cool fall weather at sea level and give times with no excuses. Wait and see. I don't powershift because this is my only daily driver and it's not worth breaking it for .1 or .2.

I love fast cars, Chevy, Ford, or Dodge.... if its fast, i like it
We don't talk mess. We just try to keep some of these bs spewing idiotic Chevy guys from posting so much nonsense.

Dumbass, in '93, '96, '97, '99, and '01 the LT1 and LS1 more than had it's hands full with those year Cobras. The '03 Cobra more than contends with the LS1, it whips it's ***. The '05 Vette was just tested in Motor Trend. It ran 12.7 at 112.3. They got an '03 Cobra to go 12.8 at 112ish. The GTO will have the same motor and be a lot heavier than the Vette. The '03 Cobra will smack the Gto down, stock for stock.

The LS6 and the '03 Cobra motor are better than the LS1 and they don't say much about them. They must have low standards. Kind of like the white trash dude that looks at a skinny, drugged out crooked toothed ***** and thinks she's hot.
