also IMO the 350 small blocks like ls1 or ls6 are among the best engines out there the only egine i would take over it is the 345 hemi wich is more expensive.

And for a good damn reason.

ok and you are back and attcking redneck this time. Please watch your language pal redneck's post was disagreing with you but he not disrespectful so if you want to make your point please be polite about it.

[vortech]

he got what he deserved for flying off the handle---just to ignite the issue. As most guys do in this forum--they pick one idea out of so many---and spring board into a rant and rave about something that was never challenged to begin with!

Why not make the Cobra not weigh as much as a damn truck? It isn't Chevy's fault that Ford can't make the Mustang light.

Also, back off, you are getting close a personal attack there.

Hey redneck, nice use of my car in your example, I think that helped out alot:hehehe:

[DeViL]

Now a Camaro SS with its 330hp LS1, runs a 13.7 in the 1/4 mile with its 3400+lbs

What confuses me about these cars is if thats around what they run, how the hell did some Ford website that svt5.0 posted (03 Cobra vs 35th Camaro) managed a 13.1 in the SS? It's not like it was some plain jane Camaro SS either it was one of the 35th Anniversary Editions, red with stripes and all that, so it was probably fully loaded.

[BlkCamaroSS]

01 and 02 Z28's and SS's have LS6 intake plenums and whatever exhaust was ordered with them, so they're more free flowing. If someone knows how to drive them, it's not hard for them to be low 13 cars...

My times are 13.5's, so you know I have practice to do

hey guys, i hear "ls1" an all that stuff...i mean, i'm a lil familiar w/ 305's 350's etc etc...but wut exactly are most of the stats of the new motors (ls1's etc...) is it basically like honda's "b16...b18..." etc..?

[DeViL]

Whats the difference in a b16 and a b18? They might be something similar but I don't have a clue about Honda engines.

[KrNxRaCer00]

well...b16' is found in a bunch of cars...was found in earli gen civics (not in the states tho), then del sols (yes i kno its still a considered a civic) an all the way up to the 99-00 si's. b18's are found in 3rd gen teg's. from 94-01 they were used an are now replaced by the k series motors in the rsx. so its jus names basically...is that wut "ls1" an things like that are?

An LS1 is a 5.7L(350cu) V8 engine found in 97+ Camaro's and Firebirds.
It's 305hp or 320hp depending on the trim and 325ft-lbs of torque if I remember right.

A 13.7 quarter in an LS1 is INCREDIBLY SLOW. If anyone drives that in their LS1 they need a new car(b/c they got a lemon) and they need driving lessons. Even you BlkCamaroSS, heheh, need to get back to the track and pull a better time They run in the low 13s easily, straight from the factory. Seen it done too many times to count, and done it myself in an LS1 vehicle.

... haha Vortech... If I offended you somehow sorry man... I'd love to see what you said to me, but apparently I wasn't online in time to see your post. Maybe you can PM me your 'thoughts'?


I just want to see some hard evidence on the Z06, honestly If they were that bad you'd think more people would trade them in or you'd read about factory recalls. I know I haven't seen any but if you can point me in the general direction I'd love to read some stuff on it.


But believe me, I think the new Cobra is a sweet car... [Joke]It gives you mustang owners something to be happy for... you can finally pass that SS on the freeway now![/joke]:silly2:

Seriously though, its a cool car. If I was some rich dude and had a stable of cars I'd probably have one...

[BlkCamaroSS]

Yup, I know this, I'll be back there this spring, after I get some new rubber .

As for your stats, LS1's have been in F-bodies since 98, not 97 . Vettes had them in 97. Also, the 02 Firehawks and SS's could come with up to 345 flywheel hp

[Self]

Yes, they've been in since 98. I meant they'd been around since 97, should have made that clear. Man, I didn't know you could purchase an SS with 345hp. THe Firehawk I knew, but didn't know also in the SS.
