so there's a kid with an SS camaro in my lot... it has the square headlights so I was thinking it was an LT1.... but after doing a little facebook stalking I found out it was a 1996 z28 SS built by SLP.... after some more research only 2140 were built...

http://www.bfranker.badz28.com/96ss/96ss.htm then I stumbled apon that site on google (edit:was NOT made by him... but it's relavent)... and the guy said this "The Trans Am got 31-32 mpg and the 450 hp SS got 25 mpg... even with 4.10 gearing!!! I was impressed :)"

WTF?!?!?

so all in all... should I be worried of the camaro??? Prolly not because he drives slow as hell like the kid with the knock-off s197 saleen.

hey... it sounds good... but like...after riding in my sister's 87 camaro a few years ago (I learned how to do a burnout on it...) and then her ex's 2000 ss (learned stick on it)... they are terrible... uncomfortable, can't see over the hood and the interior is cheesy...

LT1's and LS1's arent that far off..

LT1 - 285/325
LS1 - 305/335

thats the difference in a 97 and 98 camaro z28...the models that have ram air are rated at 320...yes LS1s are under rated, but im pretty sure the LT1 is also

The LT1 is nowhere near as under-rated as the LS1 was. Plus you have to look at power under the curve, not just peak power. LS1 cars are about 3/4 of a second quicker (on average), that's a pretty big differance

the same difference as an 04gt and an 05gt....and it doesnt take much for an 04 to catch up....of course the ls1 is faster, im just stating that the LS1 is not TONS faster than the LT1 like that picture is trying to say

Why'd you rate the LT1 at the crank, and the LS1 at the wheels?
