heads/cam setup for my lt1 would make that, with the supporting mods, ie suspension, rear end,trans it would probably run low 12s ish high 11s on a good day. However look at all these newer cars all of them putting 400+ to the wheels stock, with a few bolt ons their over 500 lol. how much is needed anymore to compete? i mean look at the acura TL, it puts out almost 300 itself.

The faster your car goes the quicker you spend your money.

It is fast enough to have fun and will shaft 99.9% of cars you pass. The internet makes all of these 1000hp cars seem common. They aren't. How often do you hear something cammed? It's a huge investment to go to the next level.

true that, but still who doesnt want to break 500 hp and fly. its not like texas here where there are 600+ cars everywhere. i just need something to have fun with, crack into the 10 second zone, lift the wheels up and have fun. but if i can go faster whynot right?

Honestly about every other c6 z I see is cammed. I am happy about that...

For daily use I say 400-500 is plenty.

For tracking often...you'll always want to go faster...just have fun with it. Do other tracks etc
