LS, LT, LQ all end up meaning the same thing. Mass produced and completely supported top to bottom by aftermarket. Which in turn means one thing, Cheaper (not cheap) power.

Don't get me wrong, i'm not knocking them at all. The LSX is a kick ass platform. I wish I had half the aftermarket support that the GM motors do on my side of the street. Hell, even the duramax gets more support than the cummins. Not nearly the gap as the gas motors but people just like modding GM products.


I was being a smartass. Truly though, they are completely different.

M4 over the brick all day long. Dunno the new camaros just don't do it for me.


Scary as it be but quite a few reviews I've seen lately say the new Camaro's handle great. They are ugly and look cheap....

They handle how a modern sports car should. But it's nothing impressive. Rank 30

I had more respect for your judgement than that. Look at the cars it beat and consider their cost. Like I said before that ZL1 isn't even the track focused version and it put 3 seconds on the Shelby GT350R. The Z28 version will most likely beat the 458 Italia and be head to head with the M4 GTS which is a $140,000 car. It's a damn impressive car any way you slice it. Durable too. Deep 10's on the stock driveline with bolt ons and spray was done less than a week after it came out.

Bad wording on my part. Didn't mean to say it's not impressive. Not surprised is what I meant to type

Lol that makes a lot more sense. I'm not a big gen 5 or gen 6 camaro fan but that ZL1 time is a huge shot across the bow of Ford. At this point they are going to need to turbo the 2018 GT500 and somehow make it lighter if they want to keep up.

It's going to get interesting for sure. Especially since ford and now chevy have that mid price range vehicle that can compete against the euro and jap cars
