****************************************************
So that brings me back to my actual question: can a LT1 Fbody be Nationally Competitive in ESP? Let’s face it even with every ESP legal motor mod a LT1 is only going to do maybe 275RWHP. LS1 cars are doing 290-320 RWHP STOCK and with the full array of ESP legal motor mods can put down probably 350RWHP. I’ve heard of a few ESP cars that claim 400RWHP ESP legal, but frankly I don’t buy that (I’ve been around the LS1 community a long time and outside of this particular car/driver’s claim I’ve never seen a bolt-on LS1 make those kind of numbers). On top of that a LT1 car is probably an extra 100lbs nose-heavy. So, what do you all think: Can a LT1 still be Nationally Competitive in ESP, obviously excluding the driver issue?
