FUCK YEA!!! The fucking coolest thing you can possibly fucking do is buy a motherfucking LS1!!! Especially if you can’t figure out how to make your motherfuckin’ Honda ZEX-lude or DSM go fast. :hsugh: ---

WTF steve? Either finish it or sell me the parts. Try not making it so fucking complicated with the variable vein turbo crap, follow a simple path and it wont take so long, if you need a ride in a quick dsm I’ll stop by the dyno. K.I.S.S. Stop being a whining bitch and start putting your car back together… ---

Having owned a decently powered 1G and 2G (both prob in excess of 500BHP,) and a stockish LS1 in a light car, I prefer the 4-cyl powerband. Torque is great, but turbo spool is better. (IBturboLSX\>\*) And Steve, you might as well be like me. Build car, run for 6 months, part out for profit, move on, repeat 🙂 I get bored with cars way too quick. Although, at this point I’m not likely to keep making a profit because the initial cost of the cars keeps going up. If I buy either of these two cars I’m looking at right now, and I decide to sell in a year or two, I’ll probably lose money. So I need to slow the fuck down because I’m a Jeff who doesn’t want to lose money on, well, anything :hsugh: ---

> [@matt94z"](#): > > It does handle great…Just goes straight when the tires spin haha. It haldles 10 times better than my 429whp F-body did… and probably just as fast. I’d say you are slightly exaggerating. No way 10 times better. I don’t think an fbucket is the best handling car, but I do know that a boosted fwd car ain’t the best either. An LSx in a early fbody (gen1 or gen 2), or even Abody with some minor suspension mods can be setup to handle pretty well. I would think a modded 3rd or 4th gen fbucket should handle pretty well if done correctly. I’ve driven boosted Honduh’s, and handling is not their best virtue. I owned a few Honduh’s that weren’t boosted & I will agree that they do handle well, but not the best handling vehicles I have ever driven. BTW - I don’t think the OP had anything to do with handling. again, LSx FTW. > [@Rate your New Years 2008](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/rate-your-new-years-2008/41037/48): > > South Korean batman.
