For your sake I'll just assume it was an SSEi

congrats. Those cars can be pretty fast. of cours with your mods haha. not quite fast enought.
You are correct, sir. The real SS's to watch out for are LS1s, a.k.a. 98-02. If they have any mods most people have their hands full.
Damned LS1's are badass on the highways! I never did own an LS1 car... almost picked up a 99 zedder, but it never happened... the opti was bad in it and I just took it as a sign, and walked away. Simple fix I guess... but I didn't feel like fixing something on a car I would be just buying. Plus it's hard to get enthusiastic over a car when it's misfiring and running like ***!
But yeah, LS1's pull like crazy on the highway.

When i was going thru the phase fo getting a different car, i test drove 2 one had new cams and exhuast in it. Its scared teh **** outta me. I smoked the tires just dabbing into the throttle. Of course im not sure i would want one for a daily driver. I should just take a formula ford chassis and drop a LS1 in it. Then i would smoke all of u guys!

opti? I'm assuming you meant to say 97 or lower? LS1s have coil packs and are much more reliable ignition-wise than LT1s.

Oh, well shows what I know then. This LS1 was behaving just like an LT1 with bad opti... I guess it could have been something else, but I never really looked into it. Like I said, didn't want a car with anything wrong with it. I never knew the LS1's got rid of opti, but that's good news... it was a PITA on the LT1 cars.
