not true. the LS-1 is kind of a grenade.. it's a great engine but I think the LT-1 was a stronger peice.

Nothing to bend over backwards to get into. Might as well make the best of your life, let your buddy dump his money into his car, and enjoy what he has while it lasts.

LS1 is good little engine. No dought. Wish Mustang GT came with something that good.
But what makes car a good car is not engine alone you know?
My GT may be only slightly faster then my T/A, but when you consider car as whole - engine, style, comfort, reliability, performance, I would take Mustang over F-body any day of the week.
My TransAm is fast when everything is working good. But it generally have some sort of common issue with most 4th gen F-bodies, like unexplainable vibration at 75+ mph, cheap interior plastic, leaky T-Top, nasty red illumination, unexplainable rattle, creak, shake, and wierd hump on passenger floor, heavy ass door, flimsy as all hell glove box and armrest door, and steady as empty beer can in the wind center console, window gets sucked out past 75mph, and who knowz where my frontend is when i'm driving?
Like i said. LS1 IS faster. that is fact.
But Mustang, in my opinion, is better car for the money.
Just remenber, as fast as they are, and as good as they say those cars were, they are NO LONGER IN PRODUCTION, and Musyang IS!

BTW hot331 i figured out the issue with tune. i had an intermittent bank1 lean CEL. it came and cleared itself. it was 2 injectors leaking air. at highway speeds it went away. i replaced all of bank 1 injectors with factory EV-6's. boom, no more idle issues, stumbling and changing tune.
