I suspect this car will be giving all it can give. I will be surprised to see anyone squeeze another 50 HP out of it.



Finally a Vette that is interesting and has a chance at a red light. Almost makes me want to shop for a bigger turbo now. Or maybe put my N2O back in.

and youre still paying out your *** for the same old car.



chevy and ford need to learn to give it a rest. what are there now like 500 versions of the same mustang?



******* ***** stupid.



hell heres an idea, upgrade the vette interior one day, otherwise save the motor swaps as crate engines.

I hate to say this but I just pulled my just buit Ito motor (I warped an apex seal on the rear while tuning the break in). Ive been looking really hard at putting the new ZO6 in. With a cam its 600hp on pump gas all day every day and below 6,000 RPM.

I have to stress my motor with boost and c16 to get 560HP out of it. Looking at 15,000. Time to the Harley and the Spec Miata.

Well see.
