My dad is buying it for her, if i had the money to buy the t/a it would be all miiiine!! yea screw the lt1, The last sports car my mom had was a '89 iroc z and she thought that had balls and tht carried the lt1 in it, boy she's gonna get a big surprise. They under rated the ls1 big time, i think it makes 311whp bone stock, but that doesnt mean every single ls1 will make that much.
