How would you like over 300ftlbs from idle. The LT1 makes as much or more torque as a 427 LS7 7.0 below 4k RPM. A LF3 for a mid level 6th gen priced below a SS would be great but its no LT1. What they need to do is bring back the Buick Grand National. That would be a great fit.




This last pic is really interesting because its a stock C7 vs a stock CTS-V. Both were done on the same day and dyno. The LT1 almost makes as much power as the LSA.
