I have the money for either a 98 camaro z28 or ss...or a 97 or below trans am....is the ls1 really that much better than the lt1...i like the looks of the trans am more but i want the better engine.

 

I have both still and the LS1 is better IMO. It has much more power at the top RPM's but less in the lower RPM's. I also like the air intake better and stock exhaust manifolds. I still am keeping the LT1 though, just can't part with it if I don't have to. I like the Z better than the T/A also. Just like the plainer lines for a sleeper look. The Police do not seem to look at it much. Later>>>>>>

 

I drove a few LT1's before I got my car. And I just like the power the LS1 gives better. But honestly I dont think you could go wrong with either one. Both are great engines. However, for my money the looks of the Camaro are just better. TA's are nice, but I have always been more of the Camaro fan.

 

Can ya save a little more money and get a T/A with the LS1?

You will like the LS1 better than the LT1. Personally, I like the looks of the T/A better (and having owned a 2001 Camaro AND the T/A WS6, I like the looks of the T/A a lot more)
