yeah kinda random

So I think I might go with a Corksport single exit catback, seems reasonable from others experience with it.

Timpo 07-11-2006 09:18 PM

oh cool

Timpo 07-15-2006 06:48 PM

here is a cool trivia...

an FD with a "bone stock" LS1 will do 1/4 mile in 11.9 seconds.

RHDGT-4 07-16-2006 01:17 AM

LS1 u mean the chev engine?!

SaviorSelf_666 07-16-2006 01:18 AM

I think Corvette or Camaro are waste of LS1.

The LS1 really doesn't like Corvette or Camaro chassis, they just don't match up very well.

LS1 performs much better with other chassis such as RX-7.

Other people swapped an LS1 into a Miata, 240SX, 300ZX, Supra, etc...and they all got better accelration, gas mileage, etc than Corvette or Camaro...and handled much better too.

some people swapped an LS1 into a WRX by giving up the AWD and a Prelude by doing RWD conversion.
