I picked the WS6. I think that it would outrun the LS1 but only a little bit. I like that fact that it's still the traditional SBC too.

I'd go with the L98, but the fastest car there is the LS1.

LS1s are faster than LT1s if both are stock. figure about a half second difference in the quarter

so a auto ls1 trans am would beat a 6 speed ws6 lt1?

if thats true i might just get a regular ls1 trans am because they are about the same price as a 97 ws6.

Sure it is. The only difference is the crank-driven opti-spark and reverse cooling system.
