In essence a long and short track car with just enough power to do the job of entertaining me on a daily basis while being safe and comfortable . In other words more power with smooth throttle response ,and no bucking in traffic. I would have preferred a ZO6 or a Z28 ,but did not want to spend a fortune . IMHO all the 1LE needs is better brakes and 100 more RWHP .

I can guarantee you you will not add 100 rwhp and not affect drive ability. Not gonna happen. Drive ability can be ok but definitely not stock like. I went from 373 rwhp to 486 with all the normal stuff H/C/I headers etc and it ran great right up until the point I broke a valve spring and later dropped a valve. Then another day poked a nice hole thru the side of my block. One thing I've learned from this car and the power upgrades I've done is like someone already said power is not the end all be all. If you want to be faster no amount of power can replace track time. After saying that let me get back to breaking in my new 416.
