Ben, you should do a seach or three on the LS1 forum. When I had a Munro, I was a member there and they were always whinging about being stitched by another XR6T . One of the reasons I switched camps actually.

Hey Ben, ever OWNED both setups ? I have and paid $7k to get out of the Munro. Is that telling you something?

cheers Rob, starting a new job (again) Monday

Dont tell anyone but im trying to convince the wife to let me get a Turbo as a work car, she doesnt like the SS. I have driven a turbo and was extremly impressed, I give crdit where credit is due.

Honeslty though, I havent seen a discussion about Turbo's on the LS1 forum for quite some time. There is though a Expensive Daewoo lover praising the F6 after a lengthy test drive.

good stuff Benny

I would own an LS2 ina hearbeat though... Don't start on me either guys, they go VERY hard as a stock setup.

[BEN189]

a mate of mine had a T and now has a LS2, he is on this forum, just him about the LS2

So Steve, you like the LS2, I bet you have asked how much it will cost you to payout the Turbo to get an LS2

[Guest mercurysteve]

actually mate the thought of changing cars never enters my mind. I have 250 at the bags now with minimal mods, so with a few for $$ I'll pull 320rwkw, gotta be happy with that Vs the BIG extra $$$ of a changeover.

I knew you will deliver the goods Steve Dont go back to the darkside mate

Rob...

That is the thing that appeals to me with the T is the power you can get out of them with minimal mods.

Admit it though Rob, V8's sound soooo good.

u mean a boss v8 though?? 'cos I reckon it sh!ts all over the ls1 sound.. I dunno about you but I reckon the sound of a turbo gets most hearts racing here, I know it gets mine.

Go the T!!

Cheap shot about the oil consumption. Typical one eye Ford supporter. 

You will find on the LS1 forum that they hardly ever talk about Turbo's and even if they do they never put the turbo down.

I personally have a great deal of respect for the turbo's, they are a great car.

Only having some fun couldnt resist

I thought that would pull the Expensive Daewoo boys chains

It's hard to put something down when they are blown'n the LS1 into the weeds

I love the sound of a V8 either Ford or Chev as much as anyone. But there's no doubt that, what the T lacks in the way of sound it well and truly makes up for with go.

And at the end of the day that's all that counts

The boss V8 sounds wicked from the factory, heaps better then an factory LS1. Simple exhaust mod changes that though.
