As much as I hate Ford, I will have to look at a GT500. Maybe a Zo6, but I'm not really into vettes.

I hear ya.. All my muscle cars have been GM untill I finally broke down for the Shelby GT500.. It truely is a special car. No it can't handle as well as a vette. However, the FACTORY forged internals have made bolton power a snap, relatively inexpensive, and mind blowing power.. Hoping that GM will make a Camaro that you can easliy mod to achieve huge hp gains.. Doesn't sound like it's going to happen..:(

Ford really hit a home run with the forged bottom end on these cars. I helped one of my friends install a Kenny Bell on his 03 Cobra, and it is insane fast now. The stock bottom end is holding at over 580 rwhp and 26 psi. How do u like ur gt500?

I've had it for nearly 2 yrs now. I've managed to bolt on 676 rwhp. The car runs great, and I had Mr Shelby autograph it himself. So I wont be selling it to buy my SS.
I'm a member of the Ford drag team of Wa. The car is one of the most impressive cars at the track.. Although, I miss my 69 Z28 was forced to sell it in a divorce.. Of course it wasn't as fast or didn't handle as well. But I would have to say it was my favorite muscle car out of all of them.. Hoping the new camaro hits a homerun. However, its gonna be tough to overcome the Shelby beast.. It truely is amazing.

ENOUGH!!! You're making more and more jealous with your every supercharged post!!!

*radz28* · 09-08-2008, 08:42 PM

Okay, so what do you think of a DI 427?... Not all the titanium parts but forged bottom end and CNC'd heads. How would that sound?

SSNIGHTMARE · 09-08-2008, 08:50 PM

I would love to have a 427 in a camaro. I don't think u can put much boost to a 427. I read the cylinder walls are to thin, but I honestly don't know much about the 427. As long as they dump the titanium parts for forged, that would be awesome.

*radz28* · 09-08-2008, 08:52 PM

Well, I was just thinking with the talk of the DI 6.2L why not a 7.0L? I wouldn't cry as much if there was something like that.
