lmao exactly what i was thinking

Well of course its not going to corner! its a 400 cui v8 made out of the heaveist materials known to man. Now the LS1 on the other hand is made out of aluminum. Hence the low weight gain. Those extra 200 lbs that you might add with a 400 cui v8 is a big difference than 25. Dont judge the ls1...

i think he made it up...just like everything else he's said so far

check it out...do some research and you will find that as ive stated a ls1 only adds aprox 25 lbs. A 13b is actually pretty heavy with all the turbos on and everything. Just for reference...Heres a touring model fd that weighs in with a ls1. Remember that the touring model weighs a lot more...

Ok sorry to tripple post but i cant let this go.... This is where most everyone makes their mistake on the ls1. They think that just bc its a v8 it adds a lot of weight and throws off weight distribution. THIS IS NOT CORRECT. The swap only adds aproximatley 25 lbs to the car. In the process...

2002 Camaro LS1 weighs 3466 lbs MT and 3524 lbs AT 1993 Rx7 LS1 weighs aprox 2800 lbs Yeah good call, they are about the same weight.... You also said that they lose their resale...WTF are you smokin? I have NEVER seen a nicely swapped rx7 with an LS1 go for under 20k. Most go for 22-25K...

hmmm... lets see LS1 powered fd.... 25 lbs heavier than with a 13b, 350 hp stock, with cams and exhaust, look for 350 - 400 at the wheels. Any other bolt ons make a lot of power easy. Loads of torque. 25 mpg. VERY RELIABLE and capable of lots of easy hp and torque. 13b powerd fd....to get...

thats not being ignorant...the ls1 swaps are becoming really popular and i would do it if i had the money and i will do it when i get the money!
