sounds like it was possibly "houston stock"

weight seems to be really killing performance in the new maros. i'm sure it would have just been a real pig if they would have put the LS2 in it. has anybody really started doing some lighweight mods to it yet !?!?

that's an ls9 and that would make the prices way to out of the world for normal people. the ls7 is in the z06 you can have one of those for about 10g's at the dealership

yeah, LS7 would have put it easily at $45K. still would have been much faster and cheaper than a garbage SRT8 Challenger lol.

but, i've heard some good things about the SS as far as the track goes. low 13's, pretty much on par with 98-02 f-bodies.
