didnt the M3's do 13's?

or was that the later/current models?

Early Ls1's such as VT - VY were like low 14s and I think the series 2 VY onwards in motor finally nailed a 13.9

Thats the LS1's though...

LS2's high 13's from factory

Being an Ex LS1 owner Id rather an M3 :D

The E36 M3 wasn't very fast. 6.0sec 0-60mph and 14.6sec 1/4 mile time. Wasn't until the next generation that the M3 became a rocket. I have no idea what the SS runs in the 1/4, but I have driven the E36 M3 and its nothing to write home about. Only a shade faster than the Viggen and cost $10k more, but thats a different argument entirely. Anyways, look up the 1/4 mile numbers on the Commodore and if its faster than 14.6sec it will beat the M3.

Side note - The M3 would whoop the Commodores ass around a proper track though.

it all depends on what model ls1 it is.

if it was a vt or vx i'd say the m3. later models it would be close. with a good set of tyres a m3 would beat a lot of reasonably stock r33's. i saw one put down 233hp (173kw) at the wheels at a dyno day. it was stock. some old rich guy just wanted to put it on to see what it would get.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
