The meat of the owners arent getting this amazing fantastic times. Infact my friends with LS1 have been beating them mod for mod...I was also shown some vids on youtube where the 5.0 loses to LS1...faster than the Z, yes i would say so...but its no where near the legendary percieved status this car has gotten. Great car dont get me wrong but you will be suprised.
