Anyone who has owned does own or driven an LS1 or similar power.
IM asking if this is too much power ? Is traction too hard to acquire ? I dont really want a burnout queen, if ya know what i mean |

350 hp/tq LS1?
I would say its just right. Its also EXTREMELY linear, you can always back off of the throttle a little bit in 2nd and 3rd (You wont use first) until you get traction. You would need decent tires and decent suspension/brakes to make it feel right. Where your going to light the tires up is under ~ 40mph. Since it has a perfectly flat torque band it will light the tires up (Depending on compound and width) if you simply mash on the gas. However if you learn to roll on it, it'll be just fine. You could always just put a stop behind the gas pedal so you only use as much power as you want.. say 75% of it.. |
