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 |

I have driven an LS1 in Jerry Mahoney's beautiful 914. While the clutch was slipping for the 3 hour trip. It kept me very tame as if I gave it much gas it would slip. Having said that that motor is absolutely sweet. Even milking the throttle it was still fast. I bring this up because while it has a lot of power when you want it. It can drive extremely tame if you like. It is so smooth it is a joy to drive. You can still get mid 20's mpg gallon very easily. I would recommend a Boxtser S 6 speed tranny though rather than a 901. I did drive it with a 901 & it was fine. It is tough to beat a nice new transmission with cable shift though. I would have zero reservations about putting an LS1 in my car. I happen to really love the suby setups though. So I am not looking to do an LS1 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) At least not today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)
