RATFINK Posted December 2, 2002 Report Share Posted December 2, 2002 ARE was running 8's with a LS1 block Camaro months ago, and they are doing it without the turbo's. RF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murtaza Posted December 3, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2002 Besides this is 100% street legal, looks better than a Camaro (IMO), and well I like it so hah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RATFINK Posted December 3, 2002 Report Share Posted December 3, 2002 It is every bit as much a LS1 as the Lingenfelter Vette, they both share the same block and heads as well as displacement. The only real difference is the fact that the Vette has twin turbo's and it cost about four times more than the camaro. N/A LS1 blocks have been in the 9's for a long time now, what is so impressive about going a couple of tenths faster with twin turbo's? Sorry, I'm just not impressed that easily.

RATFINK Posted December 3, 2002 Report Share Posted December 3, 2002 For clarification, the ARE car IS a LS1, and it is street legal. World's First & Fastest LS1 F-Body with Stock Style suspension 8.97 @ 154 MPH. Oh yeah, it cost less than half what the LPE vette does. RF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boycer Posted December 7, 2002 Report Share Posted December 7, 2002 I pretty sure that corvette gets somewhere like 25 miles to the gallon on the highway, idles like a normal vette, and looks almost completely stock, and would probably pass emissions in most places except for Cali. If I had the money I would have one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RATFINK Posted December 7, 2002 Report Share Posted December 7, 2002 How much does it cost? Unless the twin turbo kit has been C.A.R.B. certified is no more smog legal in any state than a Holley 750 DP. RF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
