Late to the game here, this is something that I have gone back and forth on a fair amount as well. If you're as emotionally attached to your T/A as I am to my Camaro I say just save up and get both cars...but I've got 3 cars in my driveway so I may not be a great source of guidance.

Lol see I can never see myself getting rid of my T/A. It’ll be crazy. Just don’t know if I should keep building it. I’m thinking maybe throw nitrous on it and call it a day.

I went back and forth on nitrous too, IMO it's less usable unless the car is a dedicated strip car and a pain to have to refill tanks, glad to hear you aren't planning on getting rid of the 4th gen though. I vote for boost.

It's not quite the same comparison that you're asking but I'd say go with the newer platform.
While I love my 850hp 4th Gen six speed Camaro hitting 160 mph in Mexico I feel like I'm on the edge of death lol.
A friend of mine has a bolt on Hellcat and the runs to 160 are effortless and drama free so if I had the choice I'd definitely take the Hellcat or C6Z/C7Z.

Yeah I keep hearing the same about the nitrous but I’ve had friend spray 150 shot roll racing. Also know it’s sometimes hard to find places that’ll refill your bottle. Just think boost on the T/A is to much if I plan on getting something else eventually.

Yeah I’m thinking a c6 will do. The T/A does get a lil scary when you’re going that fast. Don’t know what’s going to happen lol
