I couldn't disagree more! I own my own performance shop and can tell you first hand, yes the LS1 is a great motor BUT, it is in NO WAY cheap to make go fast reliably. I have built and tuned the fastest 04 NA GTO in the country, built and tuned many LS1 camaro's and gto's. For the same money i could have a regal go faster and get better mileage.
As for financing, i was looking at an 01 LS1 camaro, 430 a month and 18% intrest, Got my 5th GN instead, 230 per month and 9% intrest
Having had the fastest 2000-2004 Impala and being in the w-body world, then the fastest cobaltSS in the country and hanging in that world, i'll take the good ol' Buick community ANYDAY!
My buick GN gets MORE looks and comments than ANY other car i have owned and or driven, PERIOD! :wink:
But this is america and we are entitled to our own opinions :smile:
