Nice analogy I agree I had Nitrous on another car, ended up adding a turbo not the same at all. You would use a whole bottle of N2O rowing through the gears, IMO nothing beats have the power under your foot when ever you want/need it

From what I understand, the dealerships won't even talk to you if you planned on exporting the car. I know that certain manufacturers will penalize the dealership for selling a new car to someone that is going to export it.

When I lived in Canada, they wouldn't sell me a new Dodge even though I was legally living there and could do all the transfer paperwork myself.

I said a low mile car i.e. used. Therefore, no problem getting it back to Canada unless it's listed as not being importable into Canada by Canada Customs. However, I doubt the 'vette is on the list. Warranty could be an issue though.

You can easily get a reliable 550HP from these engines TT and turn key installed for about $15K.
yea TT setp up is nice but like i said, i just find it pointless unless u build the engine up and go higher...to me $16k for a TT that gives the same amount of power as bolts ons and nitrous for $3000. If i was going to get TT i would build the engine up and go for 700-800whp

6MT My uncle just picked up his ZR1 two days ago and we went and took it out for a spin yesterday. Incredible piece of machinery, It is an absolute riot and I must say, for a vette everything was pieced together very nicely. I can help but drool all over the brakes too. I say go for it! If you can pull it off I see no reason not to own one!
