    Not to mention I bought another LT1 car............................................... .....
    Just keep you car and keep modding it! You will never have the same love for any car as you do for the formula!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Keep it start modding it and grab a DD just to get around. Ive driven or owned alot of cars and in the end LT1s Fn rock. My brother in law buys Lambos and Ferraris and Vette Zo6s then sells them and he still compares them to his 94 vette. He wishes he kept.
    Anyways I say keep you car and buy something to DD. Look at my car its making 425ish to the rear wheels with H/C! That is bad ass!!!!! Lots of LS1s dont even come close. Everything else is the exact same.
    If you buy a mustang you must be blindfolded and shot!!!jk They are fun but in the end its not a Bird and never will be!

    BUT, with the whole LS1 thing... I'd get better gas milage (would also only look for 6 speeds, unless I got an absolutely amazing deal on a A4), respond better to mods, and be faster stock than I currently am right now (and it probibly wouldnt stay stock for long either ).

    Nothin beats the sound of a cammed LT1 with some exhaust work though.
    Sorry, just read this now.

    Don't count on getting any better gas mileage with the LS1 over LT1 unless you are absolutely going with a 6 speed and then only highway will you see any better mileage. The LS1's just eat gas, especially in the A4's no matter what the EPA says. Just something to keep in mind.
    Yep its slow.

    Here are some pics he sent me of it (doesnt come with those wheels though... They were on one of his other camaros - NBM LS1 Z28 - and just wanted to either get me jealous or see what they look like on it )





    Photobucket is acting pretty stupid right now... And wouldnt upload the pictures properly.

    May sound like a really stupid question, but what should I expect for gas milage if I were to get this one if it had 3.73's?

    He just sent me that message over on LS1Tech. I'm VERY tempted now. Just gotta ask him a few more things (guess hes got the motor out right now) and we'll go from there.

    EDIT: just gave me the option of having a low compression forged 355 in there with a small 214/222 cam. Said it would olny get me about 300rwhp. I guess it used to have a supercharger on it also.

    I'm just looking for a fun, strong motor that can handle a little abuse every once in a while and not really have to worry about it much.

    I wouldnt do it, it doesnt have t-tops.







    Just kiddin, Id be all over that deal.
    I would only go with the 355 if I had a supercharger or lots of nitrous to go with it.
