I own both and i can honestly say no, my LS1 gets between 11-13L/100km where as my L67 will not use less than 13-14L/100km,

Thats seems like heaps man! I got a solid 9L/ 100km on the highway / some city driving with a the A/C on with a built L67 engine.

with those prices id personally say LS1.

im sure you can do some good stuff to that, and youll enjoy it more.

just remember its what youll be owning not what others will be owning.
and for that price difference, ls1 would be the go.

otherwise leave it as it is and buy a toy for some fun.
all comes down to what you need it for though.

Really, who cares? It's a VX, there are eleventy billion of them. Put the LS1 in and have fun. If you want to keep the car for what ever reason and don't want to buy another one, just do it.

Nobody modifies a car with resale in mind, they do it because they want a car they are happy with. Sometimes I think people are too hung up on resale and "losing" money on cars. It's a car. It has a job to do, by using it you are getting value out of it. That's what it's for. Screw resale.

I think you missed the point, why do a conversion when its cheaper and easier just to buy one setup from the factory...

Really, who cares? It's a VX, there are eleventy billion of them. Put the LS1 in and have fun. If you want to keep the car for what ever reason and don't want to buy another one, just do it.

Nobody modifies a car with resale in mind, they do it because they want a car they are happy with. Sometimes I think people are too hung up on resale and "losing" money on cars. It's a car. It has a job to do, by using it you are getting value out of it. That's what it's for. Screw resale.

I usually look at car ownership as the car owes me about $4,000 per year, so with purchase maintenance and replacing parts as long as I get that out of it.

So an $10,000 that has $2,000 of maintenance and repairs over 3 years owes me nothing. When it gets to the end of that period and needs say a trans doing, I will drive it into the ground/sell it cheap and go on to a new car.

My first VR4, Paid $18,000 spent $2,000 on it sold it 4 years later for $6,500 that was a win

1986 Ford Laser, paid $450 spend $400 on tyres, sold it for scrap 3 years later for $200 that was a big win

Second VR4, Paid $5,000 spent $200 on it, was written off 3 months later, the guy gave me $6,000 to go away, sold the go fast bits for $5,000 that was a big win

FTO, paid $3,500 spent $4,000 on it, sold it after 3 years for $1,000 that was a win.

Only car I lost on was a bloody Proton but it was a Proton.

So by my theory you probably owe your car!

Get it an LS1, forget resale and have fun.

I think you missed the point, why do a conversion when its cheaper and easier just to buy one setup from the factory...

Where's the fun in that though? Might be cheaper and easier, but it won't be the same car. He did say he really liked his car and wanted to keep it.
