i think id be happy with solid 10s maybe low 11s, but still relatively street friendly. as far as why i want a vette, well i already have a 97 fbod thats paid for and runs 12.40s on a cam and bolt-ons, and i have always liked the looks and interior of a vette better. i like the looks of the 09 camaros, but im guessing they will be in the 35k price range. if i go with a 25k vette and put 10 or less into an engine i will have a much faster car by the time the 09s even get released. plus i could be wrong, but i thought i heard somewhere that the 09s might be heavier than the fourth gens. my best bet i think wil be to go with a 4" bore 4" stroke ls2, with a nice set of heads. then just swap all the accessories over. i have someone that will help me with the build if i go that route, or i may go with a crate... i know will be paying for someone elses labor if i go with a crate, but do you generally see just as good of #s out of a crate or is it better to build? thnx for the input

Well...Who actually makes a 4.25" stroke crank for the LSX? AFAIK, 4.1" is the only one available off the shelf.....
Honestly though, there are probably only about 200 or less blocks out there now that will accept a 4.25 stroke crank. Give it a little time and someone will start making a shelf stock crank.
