With all due respect, please read what I said. Does 5 to 8 miles per hour sound like "side by side down the highway"?

Example, a 94 LT1 TA tops out at 155, and a '98 LS1 tops out at 161, and I'm not talking about "my speedometer said" bullshit. Actual speed readings taken at test tracks when they come out with the ratings for the cars.

My point is this. Does 6 miles per hour on the top end really matter? To me, it doesn't. Get it?

If you want bang for the buck and a damn nice car, go with a GTO. The autos aren't exactly gas-mileage friendly, though.

Even if it does not i still do not get why you are comparing a ls1 to lt1 for highway speeds. Either way i guess we shoudl drop it.

Because I was giving my opinion on post #8, that is why. Also because an LT1 is typically cheaper than an LS1.

Buick Grand National / Turbo Trans Am with a T88 turbo. Build it up to 700+hp and you can go hunt Supra's with single turbo conversions on the highway.

I have not raced many ls1's. I raced a 2000 c5 vette and he slowly pulled on me when i was 220whp with a big boost leak. I raced a z28 with nos with my current power and I slowly pulled on it. Then i raced a ls2 gto and got pulled on slowly. Alot of people say he must of had mods but i think we put down around the same whp and my evo would have slower top end from a roll due to the AWD. But if that gto was stock then i am impressed.:hide:

gto wasn't stock to pull on you... A ls1 z28 with nitrous will pull a gto pretty good, so if you won against the z28 the gto was far from stock.
