sorry to hear that man. I think a SS hood would look great on your camaro with that front end and color will look real nice.

O_o...

LS1>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>supercharged 3.8

In a few months after you get used to the power that the supercharger adds, I can almost guarantee you'll be wanting an LS1 all the sudden. Power is a never ending hunger.

It makes PERFECT sense. The SC for the 3800 gives it AROUND as much power as an LT1. The LS1 is still much stronger. So saying that you wish you could get an LS1 but supercharging your car instead...still isnt even close to LS1.

Makes sense to me, he's just saying an LS1 makes more power than a supercharged V6 and once you get more power you'll always want more.

When you beat a Vette in a LS1 Z28 big deal, when you beat a Vette in a 3.8 Camaro now that is an accomplishment.

...your going to have to do a ******** more than a sc to a 3.8 to make it faster than a vette, like 1dangerous v6 or whatever he has SO much done to his 3.8 and it just about the fastest 3,8 ive ever heard of, and it runs a 13.4, which is REALLY fast, but stock C5's run 12.8's...like josh's.

those are slow the fastest 3.8 is near 9 seconds and is daily driven the gtp's stock run high 13's granted it's half a car lighter but that's just because teh camaro weighs more than it should (the 4th gen was by far the heaviest f body built)
