Looking into a vette Hey guys, im debating on selling my 04 CTS-V and buying a 2008 or 2009 vette. I have been building a engine, which originally was for my camaro, but the got the V1, what i currently have is a 414.6 cu inch lq9 with currently 4 in stoke eagle, 6.125 rods and Mahles -2cc Valve relief pistons. The cam is COMP GM LS LS1 289/305 .624/.624 114° LSR RECTANGULAR PORT with PRC LS3 Aftermarket 6-Bolt 260cc CNC Cylinder Heads @ 66 combustion chambers giving me about 11.75 c/r with a 102/102 intake/tb combo. I planned on throwing this engine in the V1 and was going to pay for the weak rear end and everything else I would have to do. I am wondering if there is any weak areas or issues about the vettes i need to worry about or know, i dont want to be blind sided like the V's rear end issues. Also, how much can the vettes handle stock? I only plan on street/autocross, no drag really. Thanks in advance

If you go with an 08/09 up, I would imagine you would be fine.
Weakest link, differential and or axles. However, What you're trying to do, I think you will be fine.
The V1, no offense, is a ticking timebomb with a built motor like that. You would really love a Y body...they handle awesome.
