And I have said it a million times...location plays a HUGE part is dealer mark up. Case in point....you can't get a gt500 OR a C6ZO6 for MSRP around here...BOTH are marked up. But, this is CA.

Both vettes are faster stock too. C6 Z06 can be had for around $76K, which isnt too much of a mark up over the sticker price. Not a bad thing, just means that the GT500 is a very desirable car and Ford did something right. At $42K they would be one of the best bang for the buck cars out there, just sucks that dealers are asking for so much. ![Cry](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_cry.gif)

Car is a dual stage 200 shot right now, as for 140 traps thats just dreams there.maybe next year
I am currently putting together a 408 Iron block, twin turbo kit. Hopefully everything will be together and good to go in for the spring season.
I really hate that he moved, he had a following of more small *****' with similar cars. I loved the "well your old *** dinosaur car......
bla bla bla".

He certainly has a 9 second by just upping the juice. It use to be a dual stage 175 shot if I'm not mistaken. Than a dual stage 225, think it trapped 140 or real close to it. I'm sure he can chime in. Like I said, the car surely is capable of 9.9s.

Now I am glad because the Vette is so much better. So much more responsive and aggressive on the throttle, so much more caged beast. And the LS3's with a cam are downright nasty...they are dynoing stock C6 Z06 #'s.

I found a pretty wicked Heads/Cam/N20 C5 with a built tranny. Its a whole lot of fun and is "capable" of high 10's on spray. My next Vette will be a C6 though or a TT or S/C C5.
And handling wise there is no comparison, this thing goes around the corners like nobody's business!

Damn that sounds like a stout vette! I just bought a house so my z28 was sold last summer, but im def thinking of doing another lsx build in the next year or so. Im debating going with a frc c5 vette or another fbody. Im leaning towards the f-body because im basically going to be looking for a shell (no engine or blown engine, no trans, no rear-end), and basically build it from the ground up. Probably be a built t-56, 12-bolt on an f-body or upgrade IRS components on the vette, fully forged 346 and either a ds1c, large single turbo, or twins. Im basically building it for the street.

You could always buy a higher mileage C5 and start from there, in the end you will have the better "sports" car.
And yeah I am debating selling mine right now to get a already built TT or SC car preferably a C6.

I want to shoot for 600 RWHP with my next car, sounds like you have it all figured out. Thats the great thing about FI is that you don't have to go that crazy with the heads and cam to make stupid power.
It sounds like a V6 roller will suit what your looking for more than a C5 would.
