In what world is a mid to low 13 second car (L99 SS) remotely close to a high to mid 14 second car (LFX auto) in terms of acceleration?
Do you know how many car lengths 1 full second in the ¼-mile is? It's not even close. Sorry.
If you DONT care about the performance aspect of the car, then obviously it wont make a difference to you on a DAY TO DAY basis. But make no mistake about it, the L99 cars are SIGNIFICANTLY faster then an LFX V6.
The problem with the LS motor's is the torque curves are so flat you dont get that SUPER CRAZY FAST feeling "seat of the pants" so to speak.
This is no different then the days of the 4th gen and LT1 vs LS1. ALL the LT1 cars FELT faster and it was VERY deceiving, but ALL of the LS1 cars WERE and ARE faster. Same thing applies here.

"You LFX guys"....lol...don't forget about us LLT owners. Because we also own V6s, we are also completely ignorant of all of that stuff and don't know anything about the 1/4 mile or any of that stuff or how much 1 second in the quarter mile really is.
