One thing I know from experience, the 98 through 02 Trans Ams, 6-speeds with a 4:10 gear is a "out of the box" terrifying machine. My girlfriends brother has one and I have drove it many times, I am not comparing it to a Terminator Cobra or a ZO-6, but from a 40 roll to 160, it is a beast. But, that being said, they are NOT that great on a road course or a closed track type of race. On a long highway run, you better bring something.. That LS1 doesn't really start breathing until around 4k and at a about 120 or so and by then most cars will not keep pulling like your in 2nd gear even though your in 4th aprroaching 130/40/50. I will testsify to that anyday, much respect to the (LS1) M-6 F-Bodies.

The ls1's are terrifying in the top end, and hard to keep up with... but off the jump alot of mustangs, are faster, as far as 06/06 gt, mach 1, 2001+ cobras, i dont believe the lightning is tho... but if you be more specific as in comparing what year mustang to what car from chevy and what year of its make, then I wont mind finding out the specs.

LS1 cars destroy Mustangs. I still prefer a Mustang though.

Like said above, it would be better if you compared it to a certain year and what type of mustang. I would take any 5.0liter over an lt1. If I didn't like mustangs as much as I do, I would take an ls1 over a PI 2v 4.6. But I would take any PI 4v over the ls1's. But the ls1 is a really awesome engine though. You can get quite a lot of power out of them with only bolt on parts.

as much as i hate to say it, i think a majority of the shit-vy motors are higher performance then fords, i wish my 5.0 was as cheap to build as a 305 or 350

I agree Chevy is so much cheaper to build.

honestly a ls1 w/ 6 speed in my stang is what i want. well lets see any fox handles like azz. and now that i own a 4 wheel steer Honda prelude, these no mustang out there for me that will ever compare. ford can make power but they are cheap asses in handling. hell a 1990 Honda accord lxi handles better than the best ford mustang package.. irs or not. new stangs are a high rev pile of 4.6l junk, no workable torque. i prefer my 300+ ftlbs or torque at around 3200rpms not 7k. any gm thats not ls1 is a joke. so no ls1 gm= turds 305 or 350 doesnt matter=turds. a 5.0 of any year will beat a gm of same year period end of story. gm didnt step it up till after the 5.0 was discontinued with that modular peice of plastic crap

i prefer 283, 327 396, 402, 454 old school chevys. now i'm dropping a 302 from a late 60's stang in a fox body.
