People keep wanting to compare back to the LT1 and LS1 cars. I also see someone thew the pinto rack into the mix and the mysterious 98 LT1. I agree the 98 LT1 never existed and the rack isn't right either but we're going straight and steering means nothing. To me the biggest difference is that you could go to any GM dealer and buy the same car off the lot and drive it home that was being raced. You can't do the same with these cars. Also the LT1 and LS1 cars were 50hp underrated I will agree. These cars are way more than 50hp underrated. The comparison of LT1/LS1 to DP/CJ is apples and oranges at this point. I don't hate the cars I actually like them but how anyone can see that this is right is beyond me.
