ive seen the rear end take my friend into a wall. im just lookin out. it is an expensive upgrade but its well worth it. Another friend i have has a really nice maro putting down 556 hp and ~700tq, but hes never gotten to use it due to a stock rear end. Only ever made those numbers on a dyno. On the street or on a launch it would blow it out with the quickness.

i remember my boy ls1 firebird was notorious for wheel hop. That ****** was fast though but you can never gun it from a dead stop

So, uh, heads, cam, and Moates Roadrunner You said it's gonna be your DD, but you'll get the itch before you know it.

Nice ride. Don't care for convertibles though.

stock for stock this car will take a giant ---- on a tt supra at least in a drag race.

no nitrous i dont want to refill bottles, if i get it id hardly use it.

if you go check sites for stock or stock w/ exhaust & filter ls1 dynos... they're between 300-330whp. lots of completly stock ones at 315whp.

so much for the advertised 310hp there is no way this thing has 310hp at the crank.
4.11s and a Zexel T2R will make you

I think that exhaust might be from Random Technology.

Needs more decoupled torque arm. Hmm. I can't remember ho is making the damn thngs though.

It's nice when the top is down, but I personally hate driving verts with the top up. Can't see ----.

my next car will also be a ls1 fbody. after several rides in them, those cars are downright badass. my buddy just ordered a 2006 ls2 gto that he will be taking delivery of by xmas. I can't wait to grab a rip in that thing. Yea johnny, those cars are way underrated. z28 and ss really don't differ as far as power goes. the ss is rated higher, but really doesn't make more power. just that "ram air" hood, but I don't think that does much unl;ess your going pretty fast. Not a big fan of the verts but good pickup nonetheless. you'll also enjoy the 6th gear gas mileage. lsx for the win
