Prime example is what happened to me yesterday of why we want more.
I was in the turn lane leaving town to get on the on ramp and the light catches me. Had some Harleys behind me with some older guys on them and at first thought they may start to get upset with me for not shooting the gap. I hate people that run red lights so if I can stop easily I stop. So I'm sitting there first at the light with Harleys loping away behind me(I have the windows down) and the light is fairly long. I hear a couple of them talking to each other about my car so I just sit and listen lol. A couple of seconds later the lead guy pulls up beside me. "Does it run good?" "Yeah, sure." I say. "Well go ahead when the light turns tear it up getting on the ramp we will be right behind ya!" OK. Were is my ACDC CD when I need it..... Light turns green and I go and turn. Once I get straight I lay 520lbft of torque to the 265/35-22 Coopers...... I'm at about 25mph when I drop the hammer and I instantly hit the limiter(oops). I shift second and still blow the tires off and shift on into third and get some traction at around 60-70mph. Perfect merging speed onto the Mexican turnpike. I set the cruise and a few minutes later the bikers catch up to me and pass me. I get a salute ovation and thumbs up from them all. Hell, I would have liked to have seen it myself lol. Anyway......had to share.

Looks like those turbo S cars will hit 60 in under 3 secs and do the quarter in the 10 second range. That's pretty nice performance for a street car, but they'll also run you around $180K.

You are exactly right about the performance and the price E.T. My friends car had a $175k msrp but, he picked up at the end of the year for $142k. There is a definite difference in price, but like they say on this forum, you got to pay to play. That said, regardless of price, the Camaro is a super value and a great looking, fun car that can be made to handle and perform fairly competitively. E.T. you are running 12 flat with street tires which is pretty impressive. I want a TVS2300 also. Love the Camaro.

You'll love the TVS if you end up going for it. It totally changes the car (in a good way).

The Porsche does not sound great like a V8. I am seriously thinking of the Maggie now that there is a $700 discount and it is CARB legal. What do you think a reasonable price for the install with a proper engine and tranny tune should be? I think this is the best upgrade for the street for reliability, drive-ability and hp per dollar. What psi are you running?
