Boost+AWD= amazing, just saying :P Im sure you would enjoy 550 AWHP especially if you havent ever had an AWD car before.

I know you said you don't want one, but cam only LSx motors are hitting 450whp quite easily. Of course with that much power, everything else becomes a liability.

Any reason you want to stick with a dana60? That much power is going to make that trans look like glass jaw joe.

because the s60 is a beast, and if i want to put 1000hp on it, it will hold. i just cant decide if i want to get out of the lt1, or have my own car that i made for me

I know 2 LT1s that where smoking LS at beech bend this summer. Let me tell you they where sexy beast, and i asked the owner why stay LT1.

His answer, because every one like's to trash talk on the oldies when they buy these newer cars. They have no understanding what it means to build an engine, but spend money on factory 400+ cars and go to the drag.

Their not trash talking his car, that's for sure

There's that and the S60 has eats less HP and gives slightly better fuel economy over the 9in. Plus, when's the last time you saw a vid of someone blowing a S60?
