i have nothign against the LS1. i perfer the LT1 over it because my roomie blew the he** out of a 98 SS and he got a 97 T/A and we tried to blow the LT1 and we couldnt blow it up. but with all the hype about it and it only does 13.3-6 (mag articles i havent seen one run in person) for the 04. 05 gets 50 hp boost to 400 and its supposed to do 13.1. yeah lets slap a pontiac badge on that and call it a GTO. hell i bet if you took a stock T/A or SS and put a power programer on it and get some better tires you coudl do that if not more. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

You are saying that a comfortable mid/low 13 second car, with AC, power everything, a great sound system, seating for 4 adults that handles great and gets 27 mpg is a bad thing?

My stock Formula was faster than my stock '04 GTO. Both of them are faster than a stock '66 GTO, by over a second.

My '66 convertible will easily be in the mid/low 12's when it is done. For what I have in that car to make it like new, I could almost buy 2 new GTOs.
