The debate was about how a bolt-on 5.0 would fair against a stock LS3 vette. No one is arguing that a bolt-on 5.0 would beat a bolt-on LS3 vette.

I wouldn't feel right cruising next to all those high hp cars in my 2010 Pontiac Vibe, it would actually sadden me deeply
I wanted to go and see the competition round these parts, maybe I'll meet a few tech members while I'm there, and get my first ride in a Terminator

BTW my friend isn't gay but him not knowing how to handle my lil bolton LS1 was. Too much hp? Don't be ridiculous...

It's pretty funny that it looks like only one guy hit a 119 mph with a stock LS3, but people were making it seem like it was a common occurance.

I believe it came out that they were spraying a 150 shot on that mustang and it also had weight reduction, full bolt-ons and suspension..

I'm just confused as to why we can't compare a stock car to a modded one when it makes for a great race on paper?
