You´r right, I remember when I supercharged my 2000 Corvette, added new wider wheels, radiator, brakes, etc.
However, this time I do not plan to race my car much, I just want it to be a extreme fast everyday driven car
I think the stock brakes, suspension and cooling system will be safe and good enough for street use, but I guess we will know as soon as the first V8 are put to real road tests this spring.
Don´t know how the tires wild hold up with 600+ HP, but again for street use I will try them first and add some slicks the few times I will go to the track.
I will at least try to get the same numbers my 2000 SC Manual Corvette did (490RWHP), had a few run 1/4 mile with drag-slicks @11.5. but this was a much lighter then 5. gen camaro will be.
