IDK I homestly think LT1 is better for more aftermarketing. A simple cam swap in the LT1 and a tune will put atleast 350rwhp. LT1 was better laid out as far as doing simple maintaince on the engine. As far as extrior(body) and interior the LS1 is way more refined and better looking. Their isn't much arguing here though. They both use the same tranny autos 4L60-E or a T56 borg warner same 10 bolt rear end.

That may have been true in the past but I've seen cam only LS1's put down way more rwhp than 350 and more torque. Which is why we have cam only LS1's running low 11's and our fastest cam only LT1 is running low 12's. When it comes to performance and horsepower, there's no denying that the LS1 is superior when the same mods are added to each. It's not so much an oppinion but rather a fact.

The only thing better about the LT1 over the LS1 is that the LT1's are cheaper to buy. LOL

[tyketto8]

I don't think there is a single thing better about the LT1's. If you don't believe me, then take a stock LT1 and race a stock LS1. Or just drive through some heavy rain and think about your comment when your changing your opti-spark!

@onesicss They're basically about the same as far as maintenance goes. They're both a pain in the ass. Some things are easier on an LSX motor, some are easier on an LTX. Just depends on what maintenance you're doing.

[onesicss]

r u kidding me! lt1.... easier than ls for maintinence.... haaaaa right ok....

[Smokie420ish]

@tyketto8 I do agree with anything newer usually is gonna be better. GM wouldn't have put out a weaker engine in their newer muscle cars. We all know GM under rates their engines and how the LS1 was one of the most under rated engines.

[Smokie420ish]

Stock for stock the LS1 is better. Yes to everybody I have drove a 94 Z28 Camaro and a 98 TA.

The Trans Am is a Firebird. There's the Firebird Coupe V6, Firebird Formula LS1, Firebird Trans Am, Firebird Formula Firehawk, and the Firebird Trans Am Firehawk...but they're all in the Firebird family.

Ls1's are way better than LT1's. My friend has a LT1 camaro and I have a LS1 firebird. Trust me LS1 blows the LT1 away every time.
