Well since I didn't throw my 2 cents in on the actual topic. I don't think the LS1 is going anywhere but do agree the LQ4 or LQ9 is the better choice, there are alot of people that are loyal to every make and models platform. The SBC and BBC for that matter have probably the hardiest core following out there (just talking GM, I think the Hemi guys could give us a run for our money) and rightfully so, the things you can do to one and the retrofit parts being made every day are amazing. The LSX down the road I believe will have this same type of following and is getting close to there every day. The LTX IMO shouldn't have been considered a different generation cause its basically a SBC with reverse flow cooling and the heads are pretty much Vortec heads (if you put them side by side they look pretty damn close) with a different intake manifold (90% of the parts are interchangable).

I think the LS1 following is still going to be kicking for a long time down the road.
