i'd honestly love to see what kind of power the superchargers are putting out with a built motor. i love the idea of a built motor with a supercharger in a Z. having all that power on tap and having it come on nice and smooth. a build similar to bullit's but with SC

been there, done that, its not as fun to drive as a Z, other than in a straight line. It down right wears you out on the tail of the dragon, the steering is so heavy.

My C6 was lighter than my 370z, get the weight crap out of your head.

3310lbs 2005 C6 vs 3348lbs on 370z

I just saw a cadilac (4 door) run 7.80's bone stock in the 1/8th. I have LS motors up for grabs all around me. If there's a retro kit to be had im totally in!! F#*>? my warranty and the FI. Oh my favorite ride to be had.

And maybe a shot of gas to swarm off the old school Xupra's.!! And if you like the old school stuff like i do there is nothing like seeing an old 240 or 60 with a small block in it. (If its done right by all means)!!

Bragging rights alone should be enough. Also i bet it feels so good haha.

For every one of these that works, there are probably a dozen hack cars. I would just buy a Z06/GT-R instead. You will save money and have a nicer car with resale value and a warranty.

Lol, it sounded to me like 3K shifts and a slow wind to about 35-4500 and then a hit. V8's in light cars are impressive if you're not used to 'em. Especially the LSX series.

its not the car, its the driver.

stupid statistics!

There you were, impeding traffic and making the road a dangerous place. All in front of an insurance guy. Shame on you!

He was in the right lane. No traffic impedance caused.

65 in a 55 isn't slow. its not fast, but its not slow. tops i go on a 55 mph highway is 69mph unless i'm in a rush, and then i'm always paranoid about getting pulled over so i don't really go much faster than that. i feel like cops are looking for people going 70+, they'd rather write a bigger ticket. if i go 75, i'm going 20mph above the speed limit, and i'll get there about 1 minute earlier. timing lights and stuff in local areas is how i try and make up for lost time. not getting stuck at a few 2 minute lights will save you a lot more time if you were in a rush than going a few mph faster than you would normally be driving on the hwy.
