I know the supercharged can mod easy, but I doubt Grandma was packing mods and think I would have pulled faster on the supercharged. I'm qiute sure it was the Northstar. I have raced GTPs with my 1st MarkVIII which was slow compared to my latest MarkVIII and my LSE, and stuck right with them.
Isn't the Northstar a 4speed trans, the 5speed in the LS and its tighter gear ratios makes up for the slightly less it may have when stock in this situation.
I believe you are correct about the LS having the advantage as far as transmissions go.
