umm u realize the ls1's had all the same power of 350hp right? it was just rated lower on paper for insurance purposes and gm didnt want the camaro to have same power rating as the vette.

so true, and it boggles my mind as to why. because base mb c300 and is250 and base bmw 3 series are producing far less hp and tq then the LF1 and the mags just love those engines, and say they perform beautifully and have enough power. then when it comes to say cadillac w/ 270 hp 3.0L its under powered. just boggles my mind. how they say 270hp base car is under powered compared to another thats 215hp and say that car has perfect power. just amazes me how magazine critics can contradict themselves.
