I know what 600 rwhp is in a straight line. My 300 HP 1996 Z51 is actually more fun to drive on the race track. Its slower but corners so much better. The 2000 Blown C5 is blast to show off and incinerates the tires. I love blowing past Hellcats and GT3's. I know without a doubt the Z28 will kill my C5 vette on a track. Just not on the straight.

I don't want a ZL1. I want the Z28 (pick mine up next weekend). Im just interested in how different it will feel since I have yet to drive one. In a year or two I will probably add a cam, injectors, tune and headers.

I love my Blown C5 for being cool... But honestly it kinda sucks to drive on the street. Its loud as hell, open exhaust. Its pushes like crazy cause the front tires re not wide enough and it will obliterate the tires at any time.

I have had several 12 second 1/4 cars. Building a 9 sec Nova now. So I know exactly how fast it will feel in a 1/4 mile. Kinda eh... Thats easy to fix with some spray if thats all I want.

Just never had a 500hp without an adder. Will be interesting.

I am afraid it will be boring around town. I had a SRT8 Challenger and driven several SS Camaro's. Both suck for power in my book. Again boosted vette... make me abnormal.
