I think theres a post on LS1.com.au where a guy is still experiencing these LS1 problems in his VZ, dunno if its common these days still or if thats a one off...

I'd rather get my hands on a VTI 5.0L. Similar re sale as the early LS1 examples, stronger g/boxes, and they sound a whole lot better too. No need to sh!t yaself everytime you go to check the oil as well :sm_headba

Steffo, do you have performance times of a late 1980s Merc 500SEL?

stronger Gearboxes u say when in fact they both use the clunky 4L60E in the auto and the old 5 speed manual .

Yea I was talking about the manuals ones. More reliable.

All the best with your efforts Ozjavelin I have been reading a lot of your threads posted here and on the ls1 forums.

More importantly Steffo have you got oil consumption figures between the Gen III and the Windsor for comparison, AU/BA, taxi, forte, XR and other useless styling/sales arguments aside?
