Its not "off limits" its just never been considered a bolt on.

Its silly to say yeah I went 10.88 with bolt-ons and consider 100 shot to be part of that.

10's with those mods are impressive any way you slice it, of course getting an "wow nice" from you would be like pulling teeth because you will chip away at every detail. when the camaro ran 12.58 bone stock I said nice run!! I wasn't a cry baby and picked out everything wrong with the run etc... numbers are numbers, I CAN INSTALL a nitrous system with garage tools so can you... BOLT ON.



Stop being so naive, nitrous is considered a power adder according to NHRA rules, similar to S/C and Turbos. I can BOLT ON a supercharger in my garage as well, what's your point?


10 seconds with bolts ons and a power adder was impressive for LS1 guys...back in 1999!!! 1999 Z28 - Bolton LS1, stall, race suspesion on drag radials
10.63 @ 124.73 (1.39 60ft) +2100 DA

The new 5.0 GT is finally a competitor and doesn't just look cute w/its potent engine and 6 speed(finally)!!! Can't wait for the LSA engine to set the new standard.

In the U.S., GM has tacitly supported online campaigns by homosexual Camaro fans. The YouTube videos were created by a Camaro enthusiast to promote "Gay Day at the Movies," a Los Angeles event featuring a screening of the new Transformers movie. Chevrolet supplied the vehicle used in the video, said company spokesman Adam Denison.

Fitzpatrick acknowledges that appealing to so many different groups with the same car is challenging. The Internet has enabled folks in different countries to see advertising campaigns intended for different audiences.

"It is a lot more difficult to do in today's day and age because of what the Internet can do," said Fitzpatrick, adding that focusing on the technology has helped broaden the Camaro's appeal.

who said it was taboo? It's just not a bolt-on by pretty much anyone's standard (except you). I have a kit, But it sure isn't a "Bolt-on".

nitrous a bolt on... amazing...

Lets go ahead and update the fastest bolt on list to include nitrous, turbos, prochargers, heads, cams, screw it they all bolt up one way or another... bolt on cars just got a whole lot faster!!

And if your pressurizing your crankcase you might want to check your rings.... lol oh you meant pressurizing the intake and cylinders. Crankcase is where your connecting rods and crank live... silly......................................

How much you want to bet that 5.0 is gutted on the inside also? It probably has lighter wheels and suspension components. Removing just the K-member is almost 100 lbs. off the bat.

I usually read the most bias fanboi magazines to help stroke my opinions.
Jeez... I should turn on fox news to get some good reporting too.
