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.

With only a few minor mods for my suspension- adj shocks/struts, STB, LCAS, and SFCs, i have taken offramps at 60mph with none of those symptoms, and at the track, 60 footed better than most evo's/sti's ask 86formula about that, he'll tell ya. Mickey thompson street radials for me = no advantage for the AWD's on the street/strip. Im not saying im the fastest thing out there by any means, but i know what ive seen/experienced. and by no means am i a NOOB
