They're probably forgiato's or something. Not my style though.
Just thought if someone can afford to spend almost 10k (almost half the price of the actual car) in rims and tires they would own something better than the slowest of the c6 line up...Is that derp enough for you?

I find it amusing how a guy talking about how he wished he could afford Kooks headers on an Fbody is downplaying an LS2 C6. A C6 is, regardless of "base model" and all of those terrible things a very capable car

That setup in an F-body at St. Louis F-body weight...
I'm not calling BS, but I sift through SVTP a decent amount, and aside from that initial cammed 5.0, I haven't seen any cammed or heads/cams 5.0s. Care to enlighten me? You make it sound like they are plentiful so odd that I missed them. Some links would be nice, especially to these 550rwhp ones.

In my neck of the woods, your average F-body makes a C6 look a little chubby.

Most people can afford Kooks, it's just whether they want to or not. My old Z28, I bought Pacesetters, $270 shipped to my door. Fit perfect, no issues. This time I'm stepping up to the TSP 1 7/8" $530 I think...Kooks aren't too much more, but I see no reason to get them even though I can afford them.
I see what you're saying about the wheels on an LS2 car though, but I can see why others aren't.
...wtf, I just agreed with Adama...must've caught the flu.

You just don't see a lot of these builds cause its cheaper to put a blower on it. They are charging 1500 for cams, 1000-2000 for porting heads, still have to do forged internals.

I highly doubt that... but i always look forward to new technologies of different brands. I like the rivalry and competition. What i dont like is the douchebaggery and nutswinging that comes from each side of it.

i agree he def over hypes what they can do on occasion. But on the 500-550whp part, that is correct. Those are ported heads, aftermarket cam numbers. 100% percent of them have made within that range....however there have only been like 4 of them to spend the 6k(on just heads, cams) it takes to do that lol

Looks like the majority of high HP coyote guys just go FI vs. max H/C. I don't blame them, it's cheaper and easier.

I hear ya. Believe it or not we have some TPI cult guys in So-Cal that hate on LSX swaps. 3 or 4 have made over 400rwhp(spending $$$$$), impressive but doesn't mean it's the norm.

And as stated most 99% don't do n/a setups. Cause they can throw a blower on for same price or cheap and make 600-750whp depending on gas, pulley, supporting mods. I made 700whp for about 4700. Blower, injecors, tune, bap.

Not sure i understand what "all that" is. The list of weight reduction i listed came from simply replacing parts. Those parts were not done to lose weight, that was just an extra bonus. And that statement about "should have just got a vette in the first place" is a bit pompous. I could have bought an ls2 or an ls3 vette instead of my boss. But i didnt want one. I wanted a boss. Just like people want ZL1s, challengers, etc etc...all for the same price. People like different cars based off of there preferances, likes, and opinions. By you saying your statement like that... it makes you sound like you think your better then everyone who didnt buy a vette. Dont get me wrong, i like vettes....and i like yours. But by no means do i feel inferior to you in anyway because i dont own one. I enjoy modding cars. I enjoy making them handle better, making them make more power, making them use the power more efficiently etc etc. I didnt have to ruin or gut my car to drop weight. I simply modded the car and enjoyed my hobby. Hardly any work at all.
