Not even comparable. The LS1 is a fantastic motor. You feel it start to pull at 1500-2000 RPM.

Obviously, there are better choices than the LS1 now though, like the LS2/LS3.

I still have my LS1 Z28...I know how hard it pulls, love the sound, etc. I drove the LS2 GTO, and LS3 C6 Vette, but haven't gotten into the Z yet. Would you say the Z (rated at 32 more HP) is still a STRONG engine even when compared to an LS1?

Strong? Yeah, compared to a bone-stock LS1. Torque? Not even close, IMHO, but maybe I was spoiled (I had a cammed/juiced 2000 Z28). BTW, worthy noting - the LS1's for F-bodies were very badly underrated - mine put down ~300 to the wheels in stock form...

However, what the 370 has over it is FAR better handling, and, IMHO, way higher fun-factor (not to mention looks).
