Sid,
Understood.
In my experience the LS motors (98 Vette, 02 Vette) were great in the lower mileage (0-70k/80k) then seemed to just gradually fall off as the mileage increased. By the time the 98 hit 100k, it felt like a boat anchor....comparatively speaking (to comparable lower mileage LS's), and the same in the '02, although perhaps not as bad. These were straight stock LS1 (both) and were dealer maintained religiously....and driven hard. They still ran fine, just seemed to have what I would term a significant drop in power over the years/mileage.
Maybe it is my driving style that wears them out so quick......for some reason stoplights remind me of track trees.....

I do. But I'm not a pro. I'm sure you understand the difference between someone that makes living driving and someone that does not.
That said, and since you seem to be the big man spouting off in this thread... why don't you drive?
Your car makes over 500RWHP+
I've only got 390RWHP. Sounds like a fair match.

Your the one who cant stop talking about how much our engines suck. You proposed the challenge before I even did. Just admit our engines are a force to be reckoned with when done right, and fairly reliable on stockish boost, and internals, why is that so hard? No there not as reliable, but not as horrible as you try to make them.
bla bla bla
cut the non-sense.
So then you'll be driving then right?
Let's keep the challenge on track and not take this on some silly tangent.
I'll have time in July to be there at PIR. Why don't you schedule then.
I really want to see your 500RWHP 3.0L survive 25 laps in the July PIR heat. :-)
I'm waiting.

10 laps, no pro. I just want to see what that things got. Although June, July are bad work wise. Could be arranged. Also extreme temps here, you know that right?

"Our Engines"
Our who?
Our you? You represent the 951 club? Since when would that be? Who made you the 951 spokesman?
You're a little late to the game, and your credentials are a little thin.
Please... you drive your car at PIR.

Porsche 944 engines. When you bash them you bash everyone who has one. You dont understand that? I am a spokesman of nothing.
