Still not sold on the LS1 being the best option....I only say this because when I used to go to the track w/ the Viper guys, of course the Vette guys would always want to be out on the track at the same time and they became friendly rivals...then sitting around at lunch one of the Vette guys asked Chuck how often he has had to rebuild the motor on his almost decade old motor and he laughed (because he NEVER had to) and 3 different Vette guys got pissed because they were all on their 2nd and third motors ( 1 of them only had a 1.5 year old ZO6)

and these were experienced race car guys, not weekend idiots or young punks...??
