I'm just joking with you. You asked for people's opinion on the car, but some of their advice about checking insurance rates is a good idea too.
But really, the general consesus on the ls1 from anybody that knows anything will be the same. Good bang for the buck.
I don't particularly like them. They feel cheap and seem to have a decent size blind spot. If you feel comfortable driving one, then go for it, the performance and reliability is there.
