One word---- Supercharge it 
Keeping up with the the new Vette's...
thanks for agreeing slowhawk i say magnuson. wow factor wins out too.
sorry KB i was thinking you were an LT1 ws6, but your right they could be, but not because of the WS6 option. its all the other options.

And busavette, the vettes HP has almost always been in the top teir for american performance. Before the Viper there really wasnt anything topping it from the US outside of race cars.
And I'd hope to god the Viper would have more power w/ an 8.0+L 10 cylinder engine. I think its an engineering feat that GM got 405hp from a stock engine and still got damn near 30mpg outta the thing and could sell it for 25k less than the Viper. And go talk to guys who bought Hennessey packages if you want to hear of joke horsepower. Their big Venom car get demolished by a TT 427 from LPE w/ less hp, more weight and an automatic.

I've been an FBody Enthusiast for a long time; owned 6 throughout the years. However, I'm very 
with my 2001 C5 Coupe, A4 (3.42) that puts down 395rwhp w/factory Heads.

However, what is not a rumor is a friend of mine in the USAR called me this morning to inform me he is getting activated (mobilized to active duty). Maybe 200+ Soldiers in my Reserve Unit are getting mobilized. If that happens to me I'll have to have my wife drive the C5 every once in awhile in my abscence. I drive her 2004 Honda S2000 around whenever we go out for the evening, yet nobody except me (or LG Motorsports) drives my C5.
Anyway, long live the FBody.
If you do get deployed, stay safe buddy! Wish everyone over there the best. I know how rough it was back in 90/91 watchin all that **** happen and knowing my dad was flyin thru it.
