Ls1

[slow5poh]

Hello! I have not been on here since 2006 when I sold my 1992 GT. I am thinking of buying a 1999-2004 GT Manual trans. I was curious, with some gears and headers, can i stay close to ls1's at all? Sorry if that has been asked a million times. Thanks!

Yes, you can.

Only if he can't drive and is 100% stock.

NO! The ls1 has a solid 70 wheel horse on us. You will need more than just headers and gears.

There will always be someone faster, who gives a fock if you are "faster than a _________"?

It isn't all about HP #'s

Oh I know. I am just saying with both equal drivers you will need more mods that just long tubes on a PI 2v. Heck they give non intercooled vortech 2v's a run for there money.

How about this question. How big is the difference between a 1992 GT and a 2002 GT SOTP wise? I realize it has 40ish more HP, but it is heavier too I guess.

100% stock to 100% stock, there is a noticeable difference. Not "ZOMG I JUST PUT A SUPERCHARGER ON IT" or anything, but it would be noticeable. The extra weight of the 99-04 isn't enough to counter the extra 40-50 rwhp it has. Plus, the 4.6 has better rear gears and a wider torque curve, which is critical for a car to be fast. Now, a set of 3.73s or 4.10s in the 5.0 even it up quite a bit, but gear the 4.6 and it walks away again.

thanks sneaky. That was a helpful answer.

Realistically....a 2002 LS F-Body would murder a 1992 GT.....no contest. Its closer to a 90-100hp difference....not 40hp. And yes, it would feel like the F-Body was supercharged. They run over a second and a half quicker for gosh sakes.

And to think that you are normally the one that reads carefully.

2002 GT, not LS.

stock automatic ls1=13.20, 6 speed depends on driver, 2v= gears, longtubes and tires would even it up alot! might be able to take it, my car went 13.60 with 4.30 gears,offroad x pipe and flowmaster exhaust on street tires.
