How does an LT1 FC handle?
Quite well actually. Here is a short teaser from this past weekend at Deal's Gap. I'm working on a DVD project about the event, mainly centered around the three 10AEs that were there.

Ask Fooshee to drive it, and I'd be interested on what HE says...

I have a cracked piston in my garage from my LT1 that proves it was no more reliable than the rotary seeing as it had 72,000 miles on it. 
Not only did the piston crack but the cooling jacket in the head also blew out, maybe that cracked the piston, or maybe the piston cracked sending debris into the heads cooling jacket either way what a piece of sh*t explaining why GM is in the current condition it is in.
DETROIT, Michigan - General Motors Corp. reported a first-quarter net loss Tuesday of 1.1 billion dollars, reflecting the difficult business conditions described by the auto giant in last month's profit warning.
Ratings agencies Fitch, Standard and Poor's and Moody's are poised to slash GM's 300 billion dollars in debt to "junk" status if the automaker doesn't show signs of a turnaround, but signs show that such moves, if made, will come later in the year.
Along with the highly publicized pension cost woes and fierce competition from the Japanese, GM has had to grapple with waning demand for its sport utility vehicles, its most profitable vehicle segment, amid record-high fuel prices.
I like the part that says fierce competition from the Japnese. Now that Toyota has a V8 that would be the V8 I would swap in. Obvioulsy I am not the only person GM screwed over and pissed off cuz if I were they would not be 300 billion in debt. Plus the crap they have been pushing would still be selling.

Actually, as Brandon and I were running the Tail of the Dragon with my car I made the comment that I would like to see what the car would do with Fooshee behind the wheel. I consider myself to be a pretty good driver, but Fooshee has always amazed me with his driving skills.
On a side note, after weighing my car I have a 49/51 F/R weight ratio. It's 60lbs heavier in the rear.
BTW: Fooshee used to be my roommate.

BTW I was not V8 hating just GM hating, anyway my incedent could be a isolated incedent. It set me back pretty good in the ol pocket book and left me with a sore spot for GM. Anyway I am glad you like your set up and I hope it works well for ya. Take Care
