Lets not forget what purpose the evo was built for...handling. An evo will out corner any fbody to date. Those who have taken an on ramp at 60 in one will know what I mean. No body roll, no tire noise, car feels absolutely stable, and it has power to pull itself out of the corners.

Yes an LS1 is cheaper and can be made faster in a straight line for a little less than an evo can, but the ls1 didnt come out until 97, the 4g63 motor has been out since the early 90s and used to be the ultimate cheap mod motor.

An evo with a boost controller and a few other bolt ons is fully capable of 12s and the mods cost just around the same as they would cost to get an ls1 to run consistent 12s.

Between the two, I would still take an fbody. Considering what an ls1 z28 can be purchased for vs. any year evo, Ill take the ls1.
