yep, almost as good as a stock LS1 designed by Government Motors way back in 1997. 
To the Coyote's defense, it obviously makes more power, just aerodynamics and weight kill it's advantage with a swiftness.

The LS1 was an amazing motor, too bad it was built around a plastic pile of shit that fell apart after 10k miles and sounded like a gawd damn farm truck. There is more to a car than just making power. lol.

I do hope you are referring to the Camaro... 
My wife's car has 60k miles and the only problem it's had is the cheap ass headling motor, which I fixed myself not having any clue how to do so.

Has anyone else noticed how slow most LS cars are at the track these days?
The same cars that in '02 were running 11s with slicks, lid, cutout, and converter seem to be running low-mid 13s now. I'm talking about F-bodies here; I haven't seen a C5 at the dragstrip in ages.

People probably who own them, havent done ANY maintance to them in years... probably way down on power.
My C5 stock on runflats ran a blistering 13.1 @ 109, which is almost exactly what it probably ran in 1999.
