I wasn't even involved in the original discussion that led up to his post, was just clarifying what I figured he meant (and I was right 
) because I know what people on this site consider "bolt-ons."

I guess this is the difference between NA and Blower camps.
Peeps that buy cars that come stock with a blower consider a pulley a bolt on.
NA camp thinks it's cheating, thus it ain't a bolt on...lol.
Either way, I don't really give a **** what it's called.
The point is, my buddies 2013 GT500 runs good for the small amount of mods that has been done to it.

2: N/A camps are the vast majority of the car and non-car world. To us, anything that accentuates or improves the native airflow of the base engine itself is a bolton. To us, this starts at the crate engine level: how efficient is the engine itself when down to its bare bones essentials? How efficient is that cobra engine once you free up intake, exhaust, and parasitic losses? To us, adding psi is changing the native airflow through the engine. No different than a cam or head upgrade that also puts more air through the engine.
^^^ Not saying I totally subscribe to my theory listed above, but it is what they think. And for good reason.
3: I totally agree. I look at stuff from the point of view of if I bought one of those and started modding it, what does it take to get good power out of it? what is the power to cost ratio? The GT500 is alot like the ZR1 or to a lesser extent a GTR: solid improvements in power are easily achievable engine wise, without having to throw alot of money at trans and suspension. IE, they are enthusiasts wet dreams.

A pulley swap is not a bolt-on lmfao. I thought everyone knew that.. Common sense and been said over and over. You really think uping the boost is a "basic bolt-on"? And who does all those mods, ups the boost, but leaves stock exhaust? And still traps 142. Still sounds like complete bs to me.
Edit: Intake, exhaust, wheels/tires, tune would be basic bolt-ons to a car. And that's even pushing it to say "basic".

Yes bricks on wheels make me jelly lol. I call out anybody when I see that stupid **** said. Especially damn guys on vette forums trying to tell me a cam is not an internal. WTF is it than? New gt500's are nice cars and far better than the ones before looks and all, but when you up the boost you are no longer just a bolt-on car... That's like saying well I just replaced my intake with the snail looking deal that runs off the stock acc. LOL

My "friend" charged me 800$ to rip my rear end apart and put it back together. I payed for parts. He just did the labor. The gears are junk that he sold me... and this is what i got back. This is at 50mph

Well, lets not argue the "definition" of bolt-on then. Plain and simple, the 13-'s don't take much at all to run 9's. Stock 100% unopened motor, stock exhaust, stock supercharger... give credit where it is due man.
I like my brick on wheels. It hurts feelings on the highway.

Like i said before... there is no "bolt on only" NHRA class. Its just internet lingo... its made up... doesnt exist. Bolt ons means something different to everyone. So again... who cares. Mods are mods... have fun.
