Don't get me wrong im not a big Chevy fan...But the LS1 v-8 found in
some Chebby cars is extremely pissed off!!! CarCraft Magazine took a
dead stock 1998 Firebird with the LSI V8 and 6speed and ran a 13.36.
That's pretty good for a bone stock car.
Of course this car cost a whole lot more than our trucks. Lets see
with only about $16,500 <(dodge discount)invested into my
98',V8,5-speed dak and it ran at it's best a 15.22, could we get our
trucks down to a 13.36 for the price difference of the two vehicles?
I guess we need to know how much a decked out 98' OR 99'LS-1 6-SPEED
Firebird would run. Anyone know?
Oh yeah lets see if we can do this on motor only. No hose'n it.
