LS1 from 8 - 10 years ago, sure, tune away. However I don't think we are comparing an LS1 with the FPV GT R-Spec.
It was an example. While a stock l98 or ls3 is obviously better down low they aren't exactly remarkable. Tuned, they are better. The ford supercharged engine makes all the lsx's look silly in low end torque as they have good torque everywhere thanks to the blower. Take away the restrictions from both via tuning and that gap opens up considerably.
