Please don't bring up the weight issue either. Fbody is only 300lbs lighter than a GT500, and those are what everybody considers the "big" drag racing car. I think 300lbs is worth it for a blower, built rear-end, built-tranny, AND a forged motor from the factory...

This in fact would beat a LS3 vette stock for stock, bolt-on for bolt-on, and big budget projects. I guess I'd be a little ticked off if the guy next to me got a car for $40k, brand-new(with warranty) and did $1k in mods to it and is pulling Z06s from dig and stops. Damn. Hell, they do that with just a CAI and a pulley though...

They are great looking but are def way to over priced. i messed around with one on the highway tried to get the guy to match speeds to go from a roll for a lil while but he didnt get the hint. i finally got him to roll down his window and asked to go from 40. we both match speeds and punch hit. i shut down at 115 with his a good 2 cars back. this was in my cat-back m6 vert
