Default LS - What?

I was test driving a '98 Z-28 yesterday for a friend out of state who's looking for one. Truly, a mint Car! 46,000 original miles adult owned, 6 speed, t-tops, nice ride. I was surprised by what it didn't have, for 310 hp. Crazy *****! I wasn't impressed, my little pony pins me in the seat better. It was torquey like a truck, but didn't rev quickly. Granted, it had stock pipes, except a flow muffler, and no mods whatsoever. I'd like to run this guy to see what's up. And BTW, what's this skip shift crap to save gas? You shift the car from first to second and the hand of Satan pulls it into fourth. That would be the first thing I disconnected, what a pain in the ***! Nice car, but I don't think my car is that far (maybe not even behind) behind it in performance. Interesting! I did get a chance to get on it good once, if you ram it into gear it will bypass the skip shift nonsense.

JOHN, The first thing that came in my mind was Code's license plate, LS-WHAT?

Are those cars heavier than the Mustang? The car felt alot heavier than mine. Did they have other engine options, aside from the ram-air 320 hp LS 1 in '98?

i used to have a camaro, and it did feel heavier, i think it has something to do with how low they are to the ground and the suspension is pretty stiff, idk

Try driving one with a manual transmission and Really low gears, Like 4:11's or lower. She will fell like a beast! I know the WS6 that i was looking at did!
