Is the whipple like a maggie or a kenne bell? If it is look at this way money well saved. I havent seen them dam things do a dam thing except make a good torque number down low on a dyno! JK JK

I haven't heard anything about those new Z28s. Will they be 2 ton oinkers like the current SSes, or will they have a reasonable curb weight?

the new z will end up in the low to mid 40's which is alot of coin when you could be in a nice vette for a little more cash

Did some calling around yesterday. Called GMPP and they knew nothing about it. Also called GM. They did not know anything about it. That guy from GM only knew of the vert that is coming out. If I would have got an answer I would have had one pre-ordered yesterday. Nothing on GM Global Connect either.

Supposed to be available end of 2011.

It's the first car I think I would considering getting rid of the TA for in a while! Never thought I would say that. It's a ways away and lots of things could change though.

Then again I could keep the TA and just get a low mileage SS and procharge it

I am actually looking at doing a 427 build on a 2010 SS. I did not think I would ever want to sell the 02. But I get tired of things quick.
