I beg to differ if it's not doing straight line.

Sadly, I can't think of any C5 thats running a massively turbo'd LSX. That'd give a run for the money.

Regarding what you paid? When you can run low 11s on pump gas, AWD, a V12 soundtrack, factory "lambo" doors, paddle shift tranny, ultra-exotic looks, 210mph top end, etc. etc, they can care less what you paid, whether you're faster or not. And you're not even close when its wet. Or from a dig on street tires....

I beg to differ about launching against an AWD lambo on the streets. With a proper tire, and a proper suspension/driver...it's not that hard at all.

Honestly man, i don't think you've heard what a proper sounding vette sounds like, live and in person.

I'll admit, finding the proper setup was a stepping stone but,...listen to a C6 corvette with KOOKS or LG pro long tubes, with a B&B catback. lol. I still get people coming up o me to ask me about my buddy marco's(blackbullet1) black C6 vette. That car had heads and cam, kooks long tubes,..and B&B bulets..... best sounding car in the world. you wanna talk about exotic sound? It was a cross between a bike, and a formula one car. I'm telling you, it was amazing,..and to this day, I still have people mentioning the sound of THAT car to me.

My cousins vette,...SOUNDS WICKED. 427 with kooks long tubes, B&BB bullets. Wavrdr's car, sounds AMAZING!!! He and I have the same setup. B&B bullets, LG pro long tubes...3 inch offroad X.

I think the combination of camshaft/cylinder head, long tube, and catback is crucial for these cars.

I know what your saying about the other mustangs...they always sound good but,...a well thought out LSX Y body....you gotta hear it man... in person.

He doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. A properly done vette/fbody with a big stroker makes any mustang sound like its little sister. (nothing against mustangs, they definately sound awesome).

I posted this up in the external forum but I think everybody should hear it. So in case you missed it.
http://www.corsaperf.com/flashc5.htm
There is no Supra that has **** on this sound. IMO I like Supras but I think they are really over rated. Because you can make alot of power out of em everybody thinks they are god. You can do the same thing with a LS motor. Here's your proof: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOm-16y8NqM

What are you talking about? I'm the one who stated my opinion and your the one who started crying like a little bitch. Your the one who started downing C5's just because you didn't like my opinion of the poopra. Get your facts straight before you open you mouth again.

Btw, all you do is troll this forum downing LS1's. Why are you so starved for attention? Is your mustang not satisfying enough that you have to troll LS1 forums all day and night?

I'd rather own one nice STOCK turbo Supra over 2 C5 Vettes... Oh and the Supra below puts ANY VETTE in this thread to shame (looks, sound, and performance).

What a ridiculous comment!!! You've got to be kidding!
NO WAY that supra looks or sounds better than "ANY" Z06 out there; that has to be some kind of joke to get people fired up. Have you seen some of the Z06s just on this forum alone? I remember last week someone posted a blown yellow Z06 with over 700rwhp with a low tance and big *** wheels/brakes that was just sick. It was tuned by ECM or ECS performance or something.

Thats just one of the MANY very good looking C5s. And as far as sound, I have yet to hear of any 4 or 6 cylinder that sounds even remotely as good as a small block with big heads/cam. I won't even begin to mention C6 Z06s.

" Lay off the crack pipe man. "

Edit: Look at G-Z06 's sig. Even his Z06 looks better.

The owner of the green 1250 rwhp supra owns the LP640 and a twin turbo 850 rwhp ligenfelter (SP?) C5. He has a bunch of other cars, but he has a pretty well rounded collection of speed machines. Just preference when you can afford a Lambo and a well built Supra with a twin turbo c5. Sure he could have afforded a Ferrari, Skyline, and a twin turbo viper just as easily. I guess it's easy to say something is useless or crap if you can't afford it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rC2HA5w3B7I

I have been in the presemce of skylines, and supras with 500rwhp up to 900rwhp and they no where near sound as good. Stock supras with a fart can sound like crap and more powerful ones sound like louder crap.

This Texas Mile winner in the Unlimited Street class sounds pretty good. The Supra hit 228mph http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uU8DxXhwdSI

Viper at 231mph is in the Unlimited Race Class. Both are awesome.
