My past cars (before taking care of my parents and wife & kids): 67 SS 396, 69 Z28, 69 SS 350 Camaro pace car,70 SS Nova, two 69 GTO's, 1970 TA, 1979 Formula 400. Nothing recently as my family has dominated my life for the last 3 decades, but I hope to learn more about the LS family here, and pick up a car. Over the years I have read every car/truck/motorcycle magazine I have come across cover-to-cover and is the only way I have kept up at all. BTW, nice friendly, understanding welcome!


We know enough about the 370Z without the need to copy the ad from thier website. You would be hardpressed to find one single guy on here drop his F-body/G8/C6 for it.

We all enjoy each automaker in one way or the other. Even if the Cobra's do spank the LS1's

Actually I misspoke, I copied it from a Wards article and was not trying to pump the 350/370Z image, just explain why the 07 and on run so good. I am a R&D Engineer and I always feel a need to research everything to death. BTW Wards has some really good unbiased OEM industry news and new/future automobile info. I think I want a GTO, I just love my buddies ride. For the moment my motorcycle will have to do until I start making good profits from my 2nd job. It's paid for and still goes pretty fast.

Is that '03 all stock? I wen't 12.4 bone-stock, since then I have added a Borla exhaust and tuner. I dunno, might be a good race.

It's stock-ish. As of today the car has the stock tune. Mine went 12.87 stock...but (ricer excuse) I had a bad IC pump, I haven't been back to a track since it was replaced with the almighty Johnson CM30P7-1...lol.

I'd be up for it! I raced one CTS-V since i've had the car, that wasn't even a match. I ran that guy so bad he stayed about 8 car lengths behind me until he turned. Wouldn't even pull up next to me at the light so I could give him a thumbs up.

Damn, I forgot you have the turbo's. With just a reflash you could gain a bunch more.

Yea, and Renntech just dropped the price, so we'll see. I know some other tunes make a little more power...but the Renntech is a proven tune, it's safe and makes a lot of power. And, the quickest Benz in the world is running their tune (even if he does have a 150 shot on top of it)

Yeah Renntech is the way to go. I like Brabus also. I had planned to do their 720-hp 6.7L package to my old '01 S600 but found it wasn't emissions-legal in CA.

The only thing I'll have done by this weekend is a new IC pump, and maybe smoked lenses (but be careful, cause that'll cut almost a full second off my time).
