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? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

without question.

Sell both cars, track down Sam, buy my old car, and swap in a 93 trans.

LT1's have more potential to be light than an LS1 car. The LS1 'may' be lighter but not necessarily. I've yet to see proof with my own two eyes. The cars are basically exactly the same. Which tells me IF the LS1 is lighter then the change in bodywork makes up for that.

That car I sold had MAD, MAD, MAD torque. I think Phil and Brian remember in Oscoda a couple years back how bad my wheel hop was off the line, and I'd still pull 1.9 60's. Rolling into the throttle and "launching" at idle. The tune, or something made it peter out big time past 5500 but man would it pull down low.
