I've seen all those not bad just really far away.. That Z06 was beat to all hell lol

And if I bought a 5k or 6k ls series car.. I'd have to take out a loan for about 11k and have to make the check out to whoever I buy the car off of, they have to give me the rest of the money back.. But I don't trust someone enough for that

A hc ls1 wont make 100 more hp then a proper hc lt1.. both motors have there down falls but a ton of people choose wrong shit for lt1s thinking there special..its just a gen 1 350 with reverse flow..u have head cam Ls making 550 just look at all the articles of reg 350s doing the same

Ill take a built auto over a stick car anyday..an built auto with mvb is just like a stick but with out a clutch..lots of fun..driving a man around can get boring an be a pain in the ass with stop an go traffic

I've driven an mvb car it was fun but I still like the six speed more, personal preference I guess, there is just so many options out there my head is spinning at this point.. I'm possibly going to look at a turbo ls1 gto tomorrow.. Idk.. Fuck this is stressful lol

While I agree a H/C LS1 may make close to 100HP more then a H/C LT1 you should know the difference in the way 450HP feels compared to 550Hp won't be nearly as obvious as the jump from 300 to the 450. At some point all that HP becomes useless to u unless you go to the track. To Be honest with you the absolute Happiest I was with the way my car ran was when i just had the teeny tiny GMPP LS1 hotcam in it. Sure it was wicked fast with the new engine but also harder to drive and caused alot more wear and tear on the drivetrain. Also not to mention that with a $400 cam I got to 11.7 in the 1/4 and after that it cost an additional $10K to get to 11.0 and have a reliable car that didn't self destruct every day. If I did it again there is no way I would go for such high power #'s on a street car, it would be less or I'd build a dedicated track car. I'd get a nice H/C setup for your car, maybe refresh the bottom end, a good stall and some suspension parts and you'll be shocked what you end up with.

Can't do the automatic...I like myself a manual, and I would love to have 700hp haha but that's useless, a mid-high 11 sec car is pretty much my goal while it being a 6spd and has a/c and if it's a f-body, preferably t-tops

I could buy 941le (mike) car with the rear end he's trying to sell ?? it just doesn't have t-tops or a/c.. And it needs a little more to get elevens I believe Correct me if I'm wrong

yep high hp v8 muscle car on the street will get old from the sound,gas,dealing with cops,up keep,ricers messing with you and so on an so on..

a camed lt1 will run 11s..shit the bolt on record is 11.48 and that car still had alot of stuff in it like radio,stock seats an so on.An going from a 300hp car to a 500-600hp car is a big step up an a diff world..can also kill you quick to if you dont know what your doing..

Anyone on here who has ever had a 600hp an up car as a streeter will tell you probley you find your self more times just putting along in low rpms to not burn gas,to not beat on it so you dont have to do a shit load of maintenance or break something an to not attract attion..

yeah the power is there but 95% of the time you aint even close to using 1/3rd of what you have..
