This will never end, but since not enough ford people visit this forum the chevy always wins ...
If were talking price for car which is pointless, but ill chime in just for fun. Buy an 87 5.0 ... Rebuild the block, spray it nasty, hook up some slicks and a tremec and you might be pushing 10k with other safety precautions .. axles, aluminum driveshaft and what not. What are you running? 11s right? niiiice
So trying to compare a slower stock ls1 to say a baseline saleen. It's really not fair because you can take alot of cars, and do a little work and make them beat a lot of high dollar cars. Ill take even an type r integra and put a 125 shot on it and probably walk a stock ls1 or give it one helluva run.
Personally my car of choice would be a z06 even over a saleen because the vette brings more function rather than looks to the table and would definately shows it's more of a sports car handling wise on a road coarse, but come on ... stock vs. stock? What fun is that comparing anyway? They never stay stock
