Why doesn't every car use an LS engine? They're clearly the best engine on the market in terms of price, size, weight, center of gravity, reliability and potential for power and fit into absolutely everything with no work required. Why do people even consider buying vehicles with other engines? Europoors need not apply of course but Americans have no excuse.

People would rather be a snowflake than be fast. Different types of poeple, really. People that genuinely like driving fast vehicles don't sperg out over LS swaps from my experience.

My car makes the exact same amount of factory rated ponies. 305 HP

however the LS1 is widely known to be underrated, hence why my car does 0-60 almost .8 seconds faster than the N/A Cobra

>m-mods

the Cobra is only really good for a turbo setup

a 6.0l truck motor LS is almost as good desu

>5 sec quarter

you probably drive a car that would be lucky to run a 15 second quarter

Yes, when powered by anything other than ecoboost.

Not the LS1 though. which that>>17502329 guy was saying is better.

I don't think any car nowadays has a long enough engine bay.

Speed is a matter of money. Also, stop doing cross brand engine swaps, if you want a GM car just buy one.
>>
>>17502493

How if the C5Rs made more power?

The GTLM GT and all GTLM don't make 700 HP.

hemispherical heads are shit for compression and need boost to be worth while.

>>c5r makaing above 700hp
Never said it did. it made more power racing than the LS5R though.
>the c5r used a 7 liter engine
That retained production elements from the LS1.
>>
>>17502525
>>17502538
almost forgot
>we are talking about the engine, not the Ford GT
The initial response was le mans and ecoboost hasn't gone around le mans faster or beaten the C5R.

You still add mass to the weight of the cylinder if you do this. It also ruins combustion.

>it still makes less power than the ecoboost
But has achieved more in motorsports and in terms of technical feats too like reaching 25+mph whilst meeting emissions in a production car.
>join the Ford side already
I am on the Ford side. i love the modular series (coyote), FE engine etc. i just don't like ecoboost.

>>17502557
>wrong see
No, your>>17502363 response was about Le mans.
>>
>>17502576
>25+
250+*
>>
>>17502588
>irrelevant
Nope.
>when facing Ford, GM has always lost LeMans
We weren't talking about GM vs Ford we are talking about the LS1.

>what LS1 powered car can reach 250mph???
Ultimate aero. LS6 is a higher output version LS1 and they share architecture

>it doesn't matter what my reply was
It does since you didn't come at me we power output as a goalpost and neither did he you brought up le mans.

>coyote unironically the worst modular engine
Why? i like how its revvy and how it responds to boost.
>>
>tfw no aluminium-block Barra
It would destroy the LS.
>>
>>17502644
>the ls6 and the c5r engines are not ls1s
they are different variants. they aren't newly designed from the ground up.
>radical rxc turbo 500r
That's not even a production car itself.


>except the SSC uses a c5r engine, which is not a production ls1???
What? this is saying it used an LS6 with extra displacement.
https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/ssc/ultimate-aero/first-drives/ssc-ultimate-aero-tt

>terribly? stock rotating assembly destroys itsef 600 hp, LMR and other sites have shown and made articles about this, the 5.4 was superior
Oh damn, that is unfortunate. i still like that its revvy though even if it isn't the best mod. supposedly they could be opened up to rev higher than what Ford set them at but i'm not for sure. also heard of a redline increase for the newer mustang.

Pushrods are so good I use them to power wash all my DOHC things.
>>
>>17502734
>an ls6 and a c5r engine are not ls1s
They are closely related though. like supposedly the GT engine is to the F150.
>wikipedia
They link to an article not mentioning the C5R as citation?

>yes it is?
The ones on the nurburgring were British Single Vehicle Approval only and were removed from the production section of the wiki. i doubt these ones would get production status.

They're not. They're cheap and plentiful and have an ocean of an aftermarket.
>>
>>17502210
>Why doesn't every car use an LS engine?
because they aren't all fucking GM
>>
>>17504235
>makes the same power

In a way, WAY more fucking stressed way. That hayabusa based v8 will not hit 100K miles like any LS will.
Shit, that Hayabusa v8 will shit the bed before a Honda CBR900 motorcycle engine will.

And finally... that is a pathetic amount of torque. It'd be a sweet engine in an Ariel atom or KTM xbow, but in a real car? Fucking grow up and gimme a break.

>>17504235
>you on the other hand are talking about the ls1 specifically
The engine specifically or a specific letter and number combination? these are not different engines.

>f150 ecoboost
Analogy. used to describe the relation between the LS1 and LS6.

>it says right there that it uses the c5r engine
The wiki or the article the wiki links to? the prototype spawned from diablo replicas used a C5R engine not the production car.
