Well it's advertised as a muscle car.... it's far too heavy(4,000 lbs) to be considered a sports car, and it's not really what you might call "luxurious". The GT500's chassis is outmatched by it's engine(overpowered, for the capabilities of the chassis) and the ZL1's engine is outmatched by it's engine(underpowered, for the capabilities of it's chassis) IMO.

By the way your Flex runs awesome. I think I would be afraid to line up to you. One screw up on my part and the race would be yours. I keep showing my buddies at work (GM) your videos and they cannot believe it. What's left in mods for your Flex that you can do?

I really don't have any more performance mods planned... but in theory I could put in a 3 BAR MAP sensor and turn the boost up a little bit more... Right now I'm only hitting about 15 PSI... I believe the motor could easily handle 17 PSI... But for now, i'll just be sticking with the 15...

I'd like to see what you get when the air gets better with how you are sitting right now. Haven't you been at more or less the same state of tune since you were in the low 13s this summer? You could also use that to help illustrate to some of the guys around here how DA can effect your runs. Since you the driver, car, and track are all pretty much the same, and the DA would be the only major variable. Unless track prep is also a huge variable at Lapeer.
