i'm just gonna tell you that i was shocked as shit the first time i cut my car loose, i didn't expect it to be so fast... but when i got in some runs w/ s/c cobras, and beat a couple, plus i got into a run w/ a honda cbr600 from 90-130 so now, i know i'm fast... all i'm doing is recommending it to some1 that has a third gen and wants power. my recommendation is perfectly valid thank you.

my comment about you not knowing what you're talking about is because you just seem to blindly assume that ls1's are unstoppable, of course ls1's are amazing engines, but far from unbeatable. as is the lt1

Well YOU blindly assume Lt1s are unstoppable, so im going to just stop even trying to tell you that your LT1 isnt all that badass.

sorry to say rs92 but your car isnt all to fast right now......lol but cant we all just get along?

have you ever rode in an lt1 or an ls1? genuine question here... i have ridden in both, lt1 3rd gen (mine), lt1 4th gen, ls1 4th gen (ss slp version). and if you read my whole post, i said

"of course ls1's are amazing engines, but far from unbeatable. as is the lt1"

you just read what people say, you have little or no experience on anything.

I know my car isnt fast, but atleast I dont say its unbeatable against other cars in its same class.

I have alot of experience in things, mainly how to not get a freaking huge ego on a little thing. And yes I have ridden in a 4th gen Camaro before.. its not like asking have you ever gone to Alaska, because you know that there is a real world out there with millions of Camaros, right?

the average year-long sales of the 4th gen camaro was less than 100,000 a year, with very few of them being z28's or ss's... so if each year had less than 100,000 of sales and there were only 9 years of the 4th gen, then it is not possible for there to be millions of them... and there are far from a million z28's or ss's... so why would i assume that you had rode in one... all i know is you have a v6 camaro that last time i heard doesnt run, and a 3.8 monte carlo, and you spend your life on here. you said intake and exhaust mods would make an ls1 faster than a 03-04 cobra, when you really have no idea... so you are blindly assuming that an ls1 is amazing. when it is an awesome motor, but not unbeatable. and i never said the lt1 was unbeatable. but i have first hand experience how potent a lt1 is in a third gen, which is exactly why i recommend the swap to people who want a fast third gen.

never said i was unbeatable, what i did said is that i am faster than just about all the cars you will see on a normal day... 12 sec 1/4 mile is fast period. that can't be denied buddy. and most cars won't run anywhere near that

f*ck your bullsh*t i'm goin to bed

If you read correctly you'd see that I said CAI and exhaust would take your car on if thats the only thing you did at the time, not against Cobras. Also I know what real power is because my dad had a 2nd gen Camaro that was exactly like Jim's Camaro except it was an older 2nd gen.

Also I dont know why you're going around crying trying to make what I said seem like I dont know my stuff when I know how much HP Cobras have and I know how much more CAI and exhaust adds

Rated at? Like GM just takes a guess at what the engines put out or says hey I know let's build an engine to put out 275hp so that they are all the same then we can call it "rated hp". When in fact they take a bunch of the engines off the line and test what they are putting out and then they average those numbers to give a figure closest to what most of the cars will have at the flywheel. So the engine is really rated for shit, those figures are an average of a certain number of the number they build. Every engine is different too especially so since engine builders just have to get things in between the tolerances and it's ok, not like they blue print all the engines so they are all perfect and putting out exactly what the manufacturer says they are...

But whatever, I'm sick of arguing about this so this is the last you will hear from me on the subject.
