Those LG longtube headers are very good though and do add a lot of power. This guy probably picked up at least 20whp between the headers/cats and the K&N if he got it tuned afterwards.

I love Vette's and I can't wait to own one!

But when saying "Chevrolet" one does not get the same feeling as when saying "Ferrari"

Lambo is ****... lol

Forza Ferrari!

What kind of retarded comparison is that? Most of these dummies driving rice im sure could own some type of musclecar. You could buy a good shape LT1 these days for $3000 and a decent 98 LS1 for a little over $5000. These exotic cars do nothing for me and like proven for the price they cost could easily be destroyed by a C6Z or even a c5 Z. There are videos of modded f-bodies destroying exotics. I could of gotten a c6 or c5 when i got my FRC but decided to wait a bit. I will have C6Z one day and thats the only car i would pay over $50k for case closed
