Wow. Look at you talking **** about my setup, with a bolt-on Fbody. Well played.
Your opinion doesn't matter to me. It's the Internet. You can talk all the **** you want on here if it makes you feel like a BAMF.

Currenly only 501hp, due to a slipping clutch. Full weight+ N/A street car, M6 with A/C. New clutch will be on order next week. I could drive it daily but I am in Japan. And my car doesnt see rain anymore, but I do drive it when its sunny, top down of course

To the OP, I drive my 04 Z06 Corvette anytime and anywhere but not daily as I use my truck for that. I run a Procharger P1SC at 10 lb. boost and put down 617 RWHP (about 720 at the crank). I simply love it and would do it again. I run the stock exhaust from heads to the tail pipes so it's quiet and pulls down 32 MPG on highway with an overall day-in day-out of 22 MPG.
I must say that I probably had more fun when it was stock since chirping the tires on the 1-2 and 2-3 shifts kept things interesting. Nowadays anything near full throttle before 4th gear is just asking for major tire spin and trouble. Street racing is almost out of the question since getting sideways when you get into the throttle too hard is a given so hitting someone racing beside you (if they can keep up) might really be an issue.
As far as I'm concerned, if you can show your RWHP on a dyno then that's what your car is ... nitrous or whatever ... 500 HP is 500 HP and when we're talking performance we are seldom talking at your worst moment and usually claims are for the "best ever" for you. If you're only talking dragstrip times then it doesn't matter. Most folks aren't pushing that nitrous button while carving up the winding roads either.
Later ... Larry
