    LOL

    My LS1 walks all over my old S52, and that was no ordinary S52. 12.5:1 pistons, VAC race cams, solid lifters, tuned for 104, etc, making around 300 at the wheels... My LS1 has worked heads and a cam, everything else is pretty much stock and it destroys my old setup in every aspect.

    Oh, and to the OP, go with Red. :-D

          Depends on your goals, you want to hunt cars down and blow their doors off it seems. I voted for the white one, when its swapped add quiet pipes and a "x racing" windshield sticker ftmfw :pimp:

                I do think that the white one would be much better for sleeper status, the red one looks nice already.

                          Dude, the red one for sure.

                          No doubt about it. Its way cleaner, you will be so proud to show off that car with an LS1.

                            for sure the red one is more aesthetically pleasing.... it aint perfect though(has its dents and dings). id be REAL proud to show off either car with an ls1 in it. I think im deciding on red slowly but surely. thanks for the reinforcements.

                                Keep the white one stock for fuel mileage! You wont regret it when the LS1 is eating premium.
