That'd be Hugger Orange alright...

Nice thing about the '99+ LSx motors is the stock shortblocks are good to around 550whp. Seen some take a 250 hit of n2o and keep going... Buy it, get some truck manifolds, and shove the biggest damn Holset on it that you can for cheap. Or do it expensive and go S88 on a forged bottom end.. But yeah, don't buy it because the Gen III small blocks are outdated technology like Crxmatt said. :y

Nope, this one has the 5spd option :P


Get it. I'm not a huge fan of Hugger orange. I am, however, a sucker for a Sunset Orange Metallic TA.

Not digging that orange.

^^ that is not the car, just the color. and yes, an LS1 is outdated it has no potential ;)

i know i was being sarcastic. spray the ls1 with shittons of nitrous, they'll take 600hp with the correct feul setup. LS1 is king.

I have no idea what they're worth, but I like the color. You don't see 75 billion of them around with that color. You're on your way to 60mpg+ in the city. :6 :y

BOTTLE BABY FTW.

local guys at the track run them all stock with 250 shots into them every weekend. those things soak up nitrous like CRAZY.

but anyways, yeah offer 13-14 for it. good deal. And im digging the orange.

you're an idiot

yeah i'm agreein. ------ kid says that car is outaded when 50% of members here drive EF's :1 And even as old as they are there's tons of stuff and support for them.

But like mentioned, the LS1 is a killer platform. A friend of mine has an 02 ss and the thing fucks out. I'd drive one. Definately a good definition of cheap speed.
