01 and 02 had the ls6 intakes. 02 didnt have EGR and known to be factory freaks. 98 is a bastard child but all of them are good solid runners. with good driver and tires they can hit 12s basically stock or stock. with cam and bolt ons you can see 11s if pushed hard enough ---

If he gets on i’ll be sure to recommend jj’s for all of hid performance needs. ---

In addition to the above - 98’s have the auburn posis and 99+ have torsens. It doesn’t take long for an LS1 to kill an auburn. torsen is slightly better. ---

> [@pewterss](#): > > not all 99^ have the torsen! Interesting. That is the first I’ve heard this. Where could this information be confirmed (e.g. I can show it to a tech inspector and it has GM written on it)? The reason I ask is that I plan to buy an LS1 for my daily driver once I kill my current daily driver. Once I get the car, I plan to set it up for F-Stock class autocross and want to buy a car that would be legal with a torsen. As the rules are written today, a torsen is legal in a 99 but not a 98. …off to Mid Ohio… I hope I come home with a trophy or 2. ---
