I usually know what I'm talking about. I do here as well.

That car will be producing well over 450HP and go head to head with pretty much anything on a road course in the US next season. In case you didn't realise the LS's main competition (since there is nothing domestic that rivals it) is the BMW 5 series. Since the M5 is the "premium" 5 series, that is the LS's perverbial "king of the hill" to beat.

Please don't call me stupid. wink

Ever driven an LS? You might rethink that post if you did.

Chris -

I have driven one (LS), and I don't think it is on par with the M5 in refinement, handling or power. However, for the cost, it is hard to beat.

However, I know nothing about the race car. It does look bad a$$, and with 450 hp, it should be a force to be reckoned with.

Later,
Patrick

Remember the Focus FR200 vs. the Corvette magazine article in Motor Trend a couple of months ago? The next challenge is rumored to be a "slightly" reworked LS vs the M5.

Chris!!!!

Actually I have driven it...my dad owns a V8 automatic one (wuss wouldn't go for the stick...but I don't think they made them when they first came out anyways...but then again...he's an old man)

Anyhows, I know you know what I know you knew all along...which is alot...and yes you do know your stuff wink. I was just referring to the comparison...a American made car...against a German piece of art. IMHO, there isn't a comparison, even if the car per chance beats the M5 in any race because the M5 is superior in every crook and cranny of it's being. I always say "we" have the technology in America, but we don't have the craftsmanship or knowledge it takes to rival one of our foreign counterparts.
Oh...and I didn't mean anything by saying your stupid...it's just one of my sayings...ok...in a sense I may have...but for anyone reading this post...Chris is a brilliant man, except for his comparision of a Liconln LS to the BMW M5.

So you're saying that the "super" LS would race a stock M5?? How about racing them both stock or also fixing up the M5? Then we would see what's up don't you think?? laugh wink
