Nice review but apples and oranges, I like them both however I have only driven the V6
5th Gen. A lot of what I suspected which is the 4th, especially a strong LT1 may pull a little better on low end but not as well over the full rpm range. This was pretty typical of the LT1 vs the LS1. I would expect some of the same with the LS3. To compare however it is going to get harder and harder to find a stock LT1 or LS1 that has not been driven hard or has low miles on it to run against. I like them both but I still think the best is yet to come from the 5th gen. If they build this car for 5 or 6 years it's scary to think how quick the future ones will be.
