I personally love both platforms, for that matter I am a former owner and huge fan of TPI's too. I have met a few LS1 owners from this board and have some friends I have known for a while that happen to choose a LS1 F-body or Vette, I usually just brush off most of the things I read cause the LS1 stock for stock is a very efficient platform and I'm sure I will own one down the road but what I have noticed is what I use to notice back in the day when I owned a 5.0 stang, you get kids with quick cars and they can't help but poke fun at the slower guys (stock for stock) and this turns into then hardcore bashing. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being proud of what you drive or what you choose to sink your hard earned money into but when this turns into I have the biggest balls around and no one can touch me, thats when lessons need to be learned. I am not saying this is the exact case hear but the LS1 could have only got to where it is performance wise if the prior platforms existed and with the right amount of money anything could be made fast. Still got mad love for all my GM brothers though.
