Re: Sell my Dsm for a F body

Actually, spark pulg's on LS1's are not that bad to do. On the LT1's they are a little (Okay, A LOT) of a bitch to do. But on LS1's if you can get under the car it really isn't all that bad. Been there, done that.

As far as sounds, I tend to agree and disagree. I hate how they get raspy about like 3500 after an exhaust, but before that they sound awesome. And the rasp-sound isnt even all that bad after a little while IMO.

The T56 Tranny is AWESOME, holds up to a hell of a lot of power.

There are a few trouble areas on them though. The 10bolt doesn't like to get much abuse and will tend to break on anything under a 1.8 60'. Also, the stock clutch tends to suck ass and start slipping pretty early on, so a new clutch is needed.

Believe it or not, they actually handle pretty decent, especially after some suspension mods, and they are tanks at 3400-3600lb's.

All in all I love both cars, and would like to have both, but then again I am not biased on turbocharged 4cylinders, especially when a LS1 tends to get better gas mileage then a DSM anyways.
