The power that I give up with the exhaust won't kill me. The car will be a lot more enjoyable. With the cam and Kooks 3" exhaust the car is loud. Not that I mind but it attracts too much attention.
My pal at GMPP wants me to take the LSA back to stock and see what it runs.
If my wife wants it as a driver that is the route we would go. Of course I would install the CTS-V brakes at that time also.

Having been very privileged and lucky to have taken a ride in Robin's car, I can tell you two things. 1. The car is VERY FAST !! 2. The car is VERY LOUD !! I thought my 67 Vette with 3" side pipes was loud until Robin started his Camaro, I was instantly humbled.
I believe that GM/Chevy is looking at the big picture for the Z/28. It will be a limited production car that will be on par with the 2011 GT 500 selling in the same price range. Pictures of the prototype testing with the GT 500 definitely shows they are not afraid of going head to head. I do not believe that any of us would be upset owning a 575HP Z/28 with a five year warranty. As the Z/28 goes forward, there will be improvements in horsepower and handling because Ford and Dodge will be doing the same thing. This will continue until the government or the insurance companies clamp down on the horsepower race. Until then, enjoy the ride in whatever car you desire and hope that the Mayan's were wrong with their 2012 world ending prediction.
