There was a post on the shoforum a few weeks ago with pictures of a LS
with an NA Cobra motor in it. It had big brakes and it had the 6 speed
as well. From the inside of the car, you couldn't tell anything was
done to it. I think I have a video of it that I'll upload later today.
That looked like a FUN LS!

They are around. A friend of mine has one; just dumped his 99 SHO for it
(previously had a mint 89 that I know he regrets selling).
Funny, last night I was thinking about what a nice animal an LS 351W
twin turbo, built tremec might be. Brakes, rims and suspension of course
too. :)
SHO motor..blah
I wouldn't do it though...I'm still heavily considering a 540i sport in
the next 2-3 years. <grin>

If you could "find" an LS V6 5-speed, it is a very rare animal!!
If you were born into money you wouldn't be talking about LSs and SHOs!!

And I see the '03 commercials are showing a whooping 12k difference in
the price of the two, damn that's one heck of a V8!
Wouldn't be interesting to find an older LS V6 with an Manual Tranny and
work in a 3.6l SHO motor!
Some time I wish I was born into money...

I believe that you would be hard-pressed to even FIND a V6 LS. I heard
rumors that they may have sold a few.....but I'll bet dealers never
ordered them.

It should have been a V8. Lets see...
2002, Weight ~3730lbs, 3.9-liter eight-cylinder 252 horsepower at 6,100
rpm and 261 ftlb of torque at 4,300 rpm. Zero-to-60 acceleration 7.2
seconds.
2002, Weight ~3755lbs, 3.9-liter eight-cylinder 280 horsepower at 6,000
rpm and 286 ftlb of torque at 4,000 rpm. Zero-to-60 acceleration 6.4
seconds.
No way it should have been a V6 if it pulled away on you up to 80 with
weight ~3675lbs, 210 HP & 205 ftlb to 230 HP & 220 ftlb depending on
year.
I'd say find a dyno and see what you really have at the tire/pavement.
Maybe the tuneup is needed or time to spend some$ on at least a MAF and/
or Intake upgrade!
BTW, nothing appears on the screen for your SHO site link.

Should this of happened or do I need a tune-up? I have no clue if it was
the 8 or the 6. She had me off the line and pulled away steadily up to
80 or so.
