yea.. the LS1 is no joke.. it'll do mid to low 13's bone stock off the show room floor... oh wait they don't make em' anymore, hahaha. you know what i mean.

personaly I would never get a firebird again. I dont care how fast it is, sure there fast of the line, but they dont handle well, and suck gas like crazy, even the V6

No no no... you see, those of us who actually do autocross have no doubt about what an F-body can do with someone who knows what they're doing behind the wheel. The problem with them is the same as with any other car.... there's too many punk *** kids driving them and can't really drive them, and they get the "reputation". You all know EXACTLY what I mean. You can always tell when someone knows how to drive one of those things... it's very easy to post fast time of the day in a Z28 if you know what your doing.
