I'm actually looking more closely at the 08's specifically for the great warranty. Slap a set of LG pros, catback, CAI, and a safe tune and call it a day.

TT on a LS2 would be nasty though!

Yeah, I may go the 08 route myself. I would almost want some kind of cheater cam though to at least 460 RWHP or so.

Did you see the numbers that LG Motorsports posted with the bone stock m6 LS3 a couple of months ago? stock to the bone laid down 389rwhp, and just with a CAI and headers (no tune) got 423rwhp. That's insane bro! My stock 04Z06 put down 351 with CAI. This new LS3 has some serious potential! Here's the link...post No. 22
