Ford with bow tie engine...

I'm not calling ls1s slow I'm saying I don't think they are as cool or impressive.

Not nearly as impressive as a clapped out 91 coupe...

C.I. for C.I. , give me a ford motor.

I gotta hand it to you, I'd take a 302 over a 305 any day. BUTTTT..I'd take a DZ302 over a ford 302 any other day.

see above honda reference, ci for ci is a b.s. arguement since ford hasn't put any ci's in any mustang since the 70's

I'm gonna go find me a used Viper and drop a Ford V10 in it just to piss off some people.

Always gotta throw the FI argument in. Slap a comparable blower on the LS and see where you're at.

they did, it's call the zr1, aka 630+hp

mike only likes forced induction when it's a baby ford motor and it helps sell his b.s. logic

Ford makes 315hp out of a 4.6l v8.

Chevy makes less then 50 more hp with 1100 more cc. How is a ls1 impressive?

First off Ford's number is over rated and chevy's are usually under rated. Now even with your numbers start modding both motors and tell me how big that gap in performance gets with every dollar spent. LS motor respond EXTREMELY well to mods while mod motors......dont.

5.0l DOHC makes 412hp and a 6.2l makes 426hp?

Based off power ford has it in the bag IMO. They do the same power with over 1000cc less. That's impressive.

But they dont! At the end of the day , the 5.0 is still a 5.0 and makes less power than the 6.2l that is a 6.2. Not to mention, "free mods" and the LS motors response to mods proves the motors are choked down from the factory for smog and insurance purposes.

So yeah you can throw a cam in a ls1 and make power, it's got 1100 more cc!

It has alot more to do with it than the size. Like Al mentioned earlier, its all in the heads and how efficient the LS design is.

Add the displacement with a small roots charger (03 cobra) and the ls1 gets bit by the snake!

You live your life a quarter mile at a time dont you?

Lol the ls9/lsa is a ls3 with a supercharger.

Am I wrong?

That's the LS9, not the LS3. Might be the same parts with FI, but it's a totally different engine in regards to this discussion.

with your logic a 1997 honda prelude beats the new 5.0 dohc it has a 2.2l w/200hp, ford is getting an extra 2.8l's, 2.6x bigger engine, they'd make 520hp if it were a 5.0 v8!!!

if if's and but's were candy and nuts, well, then you'd probably go faster then 9.0!

[Nash B.]

The LSx makes more power with 75% fewer camshafts!

I am a ford guy.

But I'll tell you my very first memory I have as a child.

Me and my mom were living in an apartment and I looked outside and saw a IRoC camaro I said "mommy that's badass".

I didn't like mustangs over ws6 until I was 16, and I've been into fox body's since I was 12.

I'm not calling ls1s slow I'm saying I don't think they are as cool or impressive.

[91CoupeMike]

Nobody said anything about the vette. You do realize that the ls3 isn't supercharged right?

Lol the ls9/lsa is a ls3 with a supercharger.

Am I wrong?

[91CoupeMike]

i promise if his 1st car was a camaro instead of that coupe that would be 100% reversed.

god bless.
