Or dont want LS1's. my LT1 bird was a ****in steal and was absolutely babied, before i got it of course, and is plenty fast while still 10,000-15,000 cheaper than a comparable LS1 car. anyways...
being someone who really doesnt "live" in car culture, very few of my friends give a damn about cars etc., and is fairly mainstreamed i can tell you right off what most people think. the 3rd gens that have the most stigma. even late model 2nd gens are considered "collector" cars right now by most but all third gens are still trying to escape the crap ass 80's culture they were introduced into. 95% of 3rd gens are driven by retarded looking bums and are falling apart (the remaining 5% are here of course hehehe) and just get no respect. from anyone. outside of enthusiasts of course.
most of my friends drive acura's, bmw's and the like and arent into anything other than comfort in their rides but in the rare case that cars do come up in conversation, as soon as my bird is mentioned for some reason they all bow down and give me respect like i drive a 9sec car. i have no idea why, i guess they dont know that most of their cars are faster than mine but when they hear me say firebird and talk about what ive done to it, they are defeated. i dont complain.
