LT1 feels slow because it's in the Alpha chassis. Drop it into, say, an old Datsun 240Z chassis and see how it feels.

Actually, the stock '87 GNX was a solid 13.5-ish sec 1/4 mile and the '86/'87 Intercooled GNs or Turbo Ts/T-Types were low 14.s.
I had 3 different GNs over the years and also owned GNX 281. My last GN was a solid mid-upper 11 second with just bolt ons. This was running at Norwalk's track.
Both cars (GNs or GNX's) were very capable performers 100% stock back in the day and were the quickest factory built car, embarrassing even the Corvette. But - the new LT1 Camaro (100% Stock) is much quicker even 100% stock.
