well good for it.. but i dont want my **** made out of plastic.. it may be good or whatever... but i think my alumium intake is a little more reliable than a plastic intake.... (But thats my opinion.... and remember opinions are like *** wholes every one has them..)

plastic is more structural sound than any metal, it's all in how you look at it though, alot of people won't own plastic cars either

NoRiceInside 01-25-2005 10:16 PM

yeah i noticed that at the auto show. on the new v6 stangs the intake manifold is plastic. i started to laugh. i'm with chris on this one though, plastic may be more precise and blah blah, but it just seems cheap and sorta funny. plastic. :laugh:

kinda like most of your car?

NoRiceInside 01-25-2005 10:22 PM

thats different. the body panels dont do much but look good.

archemedes 01-25-2005 10:23 PM

and keep you alive when you hit something

NoRiceInside 01-25-2005 10:24 PM

haha. arch look at the pics of my wreck. them body panels didnt do shiznit.

archemedes 01-25-2005 10:26 PM

your alive aren't you? in an old car like a '57 chevy that's all steel,the likelyhood of survival was half of what it is in your car

NoRiceInside 01-25-2005 10:28 PM

dude (haha i just called arch dude) the body panels disintegrated(sp). if the beemer hit me in the door i would be dead.

archemedes 01-25-2005 10:29 PM

they are designed to do that to absorb the impact (remember I'm a certified body specialist also)

NoRiceInside 01-25-2005 10:30 PM

yeah well i'm a certified STFU!

well plastic lets look at camaros 40 years down the road,..... there gona be like i want a real camaro thats made out of real parts.. not something that will melt easily.. or crack.. and all this bs.... and a lt1 is made solid as a brick.... also to mention with a bullet proof block.... while a ls1 is a aluminum block... but i wouldnt mind having the aluminum block for weight reasons... but yah thats a sad to say but shitty design... its not to reliable in a hard bang.......

lt1 is old technology ls1 is new technology (and supposed to be more reliable but we'll see)

1BADZ 01-25-2005 10:36 PM

we'll see lol. but yah i have had a rod go down/knocking in my old lt1.. exremly bad but not real bad... but it never did blow threw the block.... i think i would have to say if it was that aluminum block it would have shot straight threw it.... but i dunno... ls1's hold up good.. havnt heard of many going down..... I think gm did good on both designs..... i think the ls1 also is a little more sporty design... being less weight.. i wouldnt mind having one....

Ever seen an F1 car crash? Parts fly for a mile, remember the engery is has to be transfer somewhere. In an all steel car that energy is transfer to you body (A bad thing). Where as in an F1 car that engery is transfer into those body parts and shooting them so far which is why you can see a horrible accident but the driver still walk away. It's simple physics.
