Default My upcoming LS3 sucks compared to the competition


I can't believe a motor as great as the LS3 looks so weak compared to those other motors. Check out the torque curve on the LS9!!

The S2000, STi, Evo, NSX, 350Z, Cayman/Boxster S, wouldn't even register on that graph. It starts at 320. At least the LS3 makes the chart.

No need to be disappointed. The LS3 is a GREAT engine and responds VERY well to mods. Mod that bish and come back to us talking about how weak it is.

ouch, that chart actually scares me.

but QUIKAG, i don't think you should feel so badly about your car.
ls3 still is an amazing engine,
and majority of people don't even go near 300 hp in their life.

the chart also starts at 300hp, so there is a visual exaggeration of the higher numbers. base rate fallacy ftw

yeah... the numbers are really a lot closer like everyone said, it starts at 300, so the difference looks a lot bigger than what it really is.
