I have been very impressed with what I've read about the 08 coupes and their power potential. Supposedly much more responsive to simple bolt-ons. Tell your dad congrats on the new car; BTW, did he get a auto, or stick?

Grats on the new car. You're right, the LS3 is a good bit quicker than the LS2. It took me full exhaust and a CAI to run even with the '08 Vette. The LS3 is about .2 faster in the 1/4 than the LS2. (from what I have seen at my local track)
