Didn't Berger have one they auctioned off last year and got around 75K for it? [/ QUOTE ] I know they sold it last fall, but didn't hear the $$ amount.

Re: EARNHARDT INTIMIDATOR SS
You Forum Leaders crack me up (grinning) and I know its all in good fun.
Belair62 has it right. The LS1 and LS6 motors are the logical 'step-up' from GM in the last 30 years. They make great power at a reasonable price bone stock. Even Chrysler has raised the bar with the introduction of the 'new' Hemi. The muscle car wars of the 60s' could be heating up again. I enjoy and appreciate the 60s-70s cars as much as anyone. However, I'am intrigued with the potential of the LS1 based cars. Any other thoughts on this?

Re: EARNHARDT INTIMIDATOR SS
The LS1 based powerplants are nice, except for 1 thing: the piston knock. That's the one thing where GM really stepped in it, and I get a good taste of it daily[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsdown.gif[/img]. Other than that, they are EXCELLENT engines.

Re: EARNHARDT INTIMIDATOR SS
Weight to horsepower ratio with the LS1 is where it shines. I've got an '01 and haven't really noticed any knock but.

Re: EARNHARDT INTIMIDATOR SS
It seems like the piston knock is a hit or miss kind of deal. Mine has it, my brothers doesn't...2 others in town, they don't have it, but one of those 2 owners had a previous car that did.
Oh, and I forgot...tranny problems. Any of you LS-1 guys ran into that? It blows my mind how the Vipers and ZO6 cars have no problems with the T-56 (yeah, they get different ratios and forks/synchros) yet a LOT of the F-body guys run into trouble (my car is on it's 3rd!). Kind of makes me wonder how the T-56 will EVER live behind some of the ZL-1 cars...
