STOCK LS crank
Diamond pistons
LOL.
Yea, as if we needed more proof.
And the sad thing is... that motor would be absolutely streetable with the mild cam it has.
Another reason domestic / LSx > Import

This isn't the video section asshat.
No, but this is the section that is filled with idiots that still think imports can compete at anything.
If you're such a domestic fanboy gtfo off IMPORT Atlanta.
Bozzio for president.
Let's see that outhandle a Ferrari or something. All cars are good for different reasons, whether or not it's performance.
Bozzio for president.
True
Definitely nice numbers but out of reach of 99% of people out there, it has ALOT of money invested into it.
Wrong.
GTO = greatest car of all time
hmmmm thats fail dont knock the lsx's just because of one person
The almighty Grand Am, I mean Goat.
Bozzio for president.
Truf. A Non-GM, GM. Just like Pontiac Vibe.
Again like I said the more you post the more you continue to prove how much of a tool you really are.
Not according to Nissan Sean

I'm not knocking it it's just a personal prefrence is all. I will give respect and credit where credit is due. See unlike thacker here I'm a car ENTHUSIAST. Not a Domestic fanboy. I'm not gonna bash just to bash.

The shortblock only has 6500 invested.
So for 6500, you can have a motor that will handle over 2500 hp.
I am a car enthusiast too. I just know what a real import is, and it comes from Europe, and not Japan.
I can't believe you're bragging and talking sh*t about something you didn't do and had nothing to do with... and don't have. Don't talk about it. Do it.
I doubt it can be built that cheaply. So, prove me wrong. Otherwise you're a tool.
Bozzio for president.
yea but you got to give credit to were it is due, and i do believe the small block chevy to be the most versatile, popular, and best motor in the world.
I think when you start talking about best motors it basically comes down to what you are trying to do and matter of opinoin. I do believe the SBC to be a GREAT motor though.

Few years ago the LS-R motor found in the c5r was voted best motor in the world.I think when you start talking about best motors it basically comes down to what you are trying to do and matter of opinoin. I do believe the SBC to be a GREAT motor though.

Yes but your talking about a race motor.
Thought this held some merit

Actually, it's a pure GM model. Just not built here. Born in Austrailia. Heart from america. Like most Holden cars.
I still have to say that if I'm gonna brag about something, I'd rather brag about my power/displacement ratio being higher than 80hp/l. The average GM is around 50hp/l. It's nice that the turbo car is making over 2500 hp. Look at the money you have to spend to make it that fast. I'm almost 1000% positive that $6500 isn't gonna get you 2000+ hp. You have to invest into fuel lines, a transmission that can support it, plus the parts itself. Give up thackerLT.
K series 626. That's right. It's got a K in it.
Yes, it IS a pure GM model. Holden is every bit as much a part of GM as Pontiac themselves, or Saab or Open or Saturn. Born in Australia, of the Australian idea of cars, cars like the Ford Falcon, the Commodore, the Monaro, and generations of similar cars going back. The GTO has nothing to do with the Monaro, and the design house that built it didn't look to American for any kind of inspiration. They stuck with tried and true designs that WORK and work WELL and built a beautifully solid vehicle overall. If by "Heart" you mean the engine itself, well sure, but that's akin to pointing out that most (if not all for a while there) Of Chrysler's cars were actually just Mitsubishi's, and now almost all of them are Mercedes.
A thing is what it is, and the GTO was a sales failure but a beautifully built car that has absolutely nothing to do with what Americans look for in cars. The soft lines and gentle understated look of the Monaro was simply NOT what people thought of when they thought of the GTO. Because of that there was a backlash against the idea of this new GTO and people far less informed than those of us here simply decided that Pontiac had made another bad design decision. They hadn't, and have taken what they learned from that when working with Holden on the new G8 GT.
A $6500 short block...is expensive. The one-of-a-kind custome intake manifold...is expensive...What looks to be thousands and thousands of dollars in custom-setup power adders...well, obviously expensive. The tune to keep that thing from blowing up? Expensive! The fact that it is nothing more than a Dyno-cradle queen that can run up to 2048hp on a dyno run? Means next to nothing really, now if they could keep that RPM up for 10-12 seconds, producing 2048hp the whole time, we'd be discussing a little bit of a different story here, really. What that video proves is nothing except that when cranked up and run up to top speed that engine block can withstand for an extremely short period of time that stress that comes from producing a literal "ton" of horsepower. Small Block Chevy engines have been impressing people for a long time, but they're starting to fade because they refuse to move away from "what works". The new and shiny is starting to wear off.
Most Chrysler's are based from Mercedes? Really? I'd like to see a list of Merc based Chrysler's.
Sebring...no
Pacifica...no
Caravan..no
"In 1998 Daimler-Benz purchased Chrysler, forming DaimlerChrysler AG. Chrysler Corporation then was legally renamed DaimlerChrysler Motors Company LLC, while its total operations began doing business as Chrysler Group. This was initially declared to be a merger of equals,[8] but it quickly became evident that Daimler-Benz was the dominant partner. Despite offering a range of attractive models, Chrysler went into another of its financial tailspins soon after the merger, greatly depressing the stock price of the merged firm and causing alarm at headquarters in Germany, which sent CEO Dieter Zetsche to take charge. The Plymouth brand was phased out in 2001, and plans for cost cutting by sharing of platforms and components began. The strongly Mercedes-influenced Chrysler Crossfire was one of the first results of this program. A return to rear-wheel drive was announced, and in 2004 a new Chrysler 300 using this technology and a new Hemi V8 appeared and was successful. Financial performance began to improve, with Chrysler providing a significant share of DaimlerChrysler profits due to restructuring efforts at the Mercedes Car Group. The partnership with Mitsubishi was dissolved as DaimlerChrysler divested its stake in the firm due to Mitsubishi's demand for more control in the management."
American cars suck end of thread
While I would absolutely love to say that same statement with you and agree with you i can't. Here's the problem I have with american cars. It doesn't matter how much they cost or the class of vehicle they all have two things in common.
1.They all look the same on the inside
2. They all feel cheap as hell on the inside
And if I am completely honest Nissan is headed down the same path.
I don't understand why when I get into a 300C I feel like I'm sitting in a Charger and vice versa. Everything about it is the same cheap dull looking crap. Take even the new Challenger. Why is it that Chrysler/Dodge couldn't come up with some new gauges to use in the damn thing other than sticking the same cheap white faced orange needles they use in the PT cruiser. The only american car that I have really been impressed with lately has been the CTS.

you've sat in a GTO and have the balls to say it feels cheap inside?
Wow I wrote that post in response to thisyou've sat in a GTO and have the balls to say it feels cheap inside?
Now please re-read the statement you quoted and find where I said anything about the GTO.
404 GTO NOT FOUND
Your starting to get as bad as that NissanSean Guy.

Wow lol Thacker you are awesome
seriosuly.
People like you still exist
How is the klan doing? Also I had a few questions on Busch beer, Nascar, red meat, and the NRA. Apparently you are the expert on all the above.
How mad are you that gay pride is currently going on just a few miles away from you as I type?
You are a dying breed my friend. And for you ignorance is obviously bliss.
So you are against having pride in USA built automobiles?Wow lol Thacker you are awesome

Terrorist.
So basically what your saying is if anybody doesnt like something american built they are a terrorist?
Thacker all you have done is run your mouth and say the same idiotic **** over and over and over again. It's great that you like your car and that you run it but for god sakes just shut the hell up.

and to think i used to drive a domestic
people like you make me glad i don't any more

Absolutely not. By no means do I hate domestics or this country, I just hate you.
My brother has a 7.0L C6 ZO6 and that car lightly modded is faster than any Supra or Skyline I have ever ridden in. Im not trying to say that GTO's or any LS motor are bad, they are great cars. I just cant understand your unneccessary bashing of Japanese imports.
Care to explain?
If you really cared about this country you would be driving a car that gets suffiecent gas mileage. By your excessive fuel consumption other hardworking, blue collar Americans are having to pay more at the pump because from what I hear gas is a little more hard to come by these days...
GOD damn your hard headed. GM is the suck, MOPAR!!!
there was a show on speed vision were they were test the HP on old ORIGINAL small/big block V8 and out of all of them mopar was pulling the most for stock.
and as for import, yesh theres nothing like a Porche, Ferrari, or Zonda. but then again i think you were just using that to save your ass...
I agree with Rev, you are a Tool
www.street-706.tklets compare bush to jesus i mean they are like best friends

If domestic had a d!ck Thacker would be sucking it.
While bragging about its size.
Plus you should like imports, your car will beat 98% of them in a straight line, and a good number of them in the turns. If anything imports are easy pickings to you and you should appreciate them for that aspect
Hate to break it to you but the GTO is actually an imported machine.
