Yeah actually, I ran a "base" model Mallett (heads, cam, suspension etc..) They super quick, very clean cars. Mallett's shop is only like 20 minutes from where I live and I've actually seen the way they build those cars, jaw dropping **** man. I actually saw a twin turbo set up goin into a c5, about lost it when I heard the price though. If you ask me they are just like lingenfelter, but not as widely known. Anyways in regards to the original question, he smoked my stock SS.

I read that the 396horse model could run 11.8's on street tires, and that the 435 model was in the high tens, low 11's, carbon fiber exhaust, awsome.

Never heard of them. What's so special about them are they like the Lingfelter 427 turbo?

Yeah, I guess you could say it's almost identical. If I remember correctly, I believe during Car & Driver's supercar shootout, the Mallett was actually faster but didn't handle quite as nicely as the Lingenfelter so it lost.
