Well...my current 4th Gen you see below in my sig puts out approx 335hp. It has run a best of 12.88 (I've only gotten the chance to race it one night). You see the mods...nothing outstanding what-so-ever, right? My last Z28 had a best of 12.74. Only additions were a loud mouth and y-pipe along w/ the mods below. Now, with the 5th Gen, you are adding about 100hp. If what we hear is true, being that the hp levels will be right around 340, then it's going to be a heck of a lot quicker. And...GM will make the weight come in right. So, that's why I would expect the mid model to run that well. That is if they are going to make a top of the line SC version. Then, we are talking low 12's to upper 11's for sure. I expect the 5th Gen to be right at 12.5 if not a hair below.
I like the logic of this because of the comparison to the last models. I was wondering why you ran a 12.74 in your Z28 but a slower 12.88 in your SS? Unless I miss-understood something when I read it. I think it was like 335 hp for the SS but what was the HP rating for the Z28?

By the way, you have a fast freaking car and I love the plates ...Tag your it ...I ain't playing :( lol.
