I think it will do great once people figure out the best ways to mod it. and I'm sure we'll see some people hitting low 11's with just bolt ons.
Now lets bring on the Z28 for the real road racing. but if the thing doesn't run low 12's stock in the 1/4 then ford fans will have something to say. lol.

I think the CTS-V racer is doing alright in whatever series it's entered in...I forget the name. And the engine outlived the LS9 during endurance testing. I DEFINITELY see where you're coming from, don't get me wrong -- and I would tend to agree a N/A car with similar or at least close power would be much more ideal.
But at the same time, I think the LSA gets a bad rap for stereotypical things, some earned, some not so much....
I'll never be entering myself into the 24 hours of LeMans, though...so admirably tackling a few HPDE sessions once or twice a year is the most I'll ever demand of it.
