Yea, I see your point. You cant turn an LS400 into a sport sedan without of work and effort. Too bad there wasn't a LS-F line back in '89

LOL BAHAHAHAHA!. That just made my day.

have you ever driven a UCF11? Even when they are really heathy they may only just chirp the wheels when the foot is planted from a stand still on crappy standard wheels. For one to break out wildly a 50km/h on sticky 275's with nothing more then a muffler delete mod and ecu is definetly something to brag about. A UCF11 doing that is definetly more impressive then a UCF21 doing it But at the end of the day if you try go fast in a Celsior/LS you will look a boy racer and bought the wrong car and should go trade it for an 2JZ aristo/supra.

I really have no interest in making my car have more power, All ls400's are slow and really pointless to try make quick (no lsd/ weigh to much) but to make it more efficent and better on fuel why not.

And sedans that spin thru 2nd and chirp 3rd? Is that all LOL. My old LS1 would do far better then that. Besides I thought we were talking about ECU replacments for a Celsior/LS, My statment was just to provide a basic understanding of the differance a mines ecu can make over stock with out the need for a dyno comparason, I wasnt trying you impress you with wheel spining storys, If I wanted to do that id tell you all about my Alloy 500icube Aussie made small block holden spec V8 in my little Datson that only weighs 900kg's. What traction!

LS1? Comparing a Camaro Z28/SS, TransAM, and Corvette with a LS400? Of course they are going roast tires...just look at what kind of vehicles they are...RWD modern american muscle cars...its what they are made to do. You rarely see a sedan able to burn through 3rd gear... I was just saying that its not im such a big deal to burn tires at a low speed.
