Seriously though. Sports car forums are only good to find out a certain amount of info. Lots of idiots that buy sports cars and abuse them from off the lot with no break in period. Ride around all day at 4400 rpm to make exhaust noise, mismatch basic mods without addressing other components that need to be modded along with... Then wonder why there car is F....d up and complain about it on forums.

Z06/Viper/GT500/etc. Having been there, done that, I can tell you that the factory just gets it right.

As far as putting a blower on the Z. I disagree totally with import. I think you can add 125rwhp-250rwhp and not affect its driveability at all. Just plant the car better(suspension mods) and you're good. This car's wheelbase is long enough. The porsche has a wheelbase of 93 inches and no one has ever complained about it being too short @ 190mph. I'm sure the Z can do fine @ 165-168mph with a 100.4 inch wheelbase. As far as gears being too short, that can be redone with a tune.
