LOL, I think that those are the same dudes that are looking for a race while throwing around ridiculous numbers so that no one will ever step up to the challenge. I figured someone around here would have something to shut them up.

What color is it? Is it a C5 or a C6? It might be one out of the army of Vettes that I saw when I was at Vengeance recently. When I come back I plan on either taking my car there to get a stroker set up or putting my savings towards the purchase of a C5 Z06 or a Terminator.

The C5Z gets my vote - and I seriously considered going with a Terminator for the extra utility of a back seat, plus the absolutely unbeatable sound (IMO) of the blower whine.

Yep, it's only been sprayed on two occasions though so far - once to be tuned on the dyno and 2nd with me driving; melted the OZ700 clutch on a 3rd/4th pull.

Has a new clutch now...

Nope, (not that I know of) - I don't think he's run a black Z06. He's run a blue Z06 though (mine).

Yeah man, I loooooveeeee Terminators!! But I think now would be a perfect time for a Z06 since I don't have any kids that I know of (just kidding!!) and I can enjoy a 2 seater. But the prices are very good right now for either one so who knows, lol. One of my friends took me for a ride in his pullied cobra with an exhaust and it was crazy!!

took the old "muffler" off and started the car with open y-pipe, no change at all to the sound of the car. new muffler is on, now its not insanely loud. hopefully no negative effects on performance, but we will see.

Having a little back pressure with your stock flowing heads may help on the bottom end with such a high stall.
