Damn that’s tempting. Duplex I was gonna buy fell through; I cancelled as the builder was being a dbag.

A C6Z on big and littles with cams is so awesome looking to me though.

My Z on her F14 drag pack looks so sexy. Now that a Hi-Ram is out of the hood she will look even meaner once done and on the ground. These cars are monsters, NA-wise the best. A Solid Roller Hi-Ram car can see well over 700, I will be happy with 620-630 with my stock compression.

A Viper is literally the only car Id get rid of my GT500 for.
I would rather have a Shelby lol. Vipers are nice but once you get in a Z you are spoiled and many other cars do not seem special anymore.

Yes although there is something about C6 ZR1s that take my breath away. I have seen one C7ZR1 take off from a stoplight in socal and I almost busted a nut. I do not know if I will ever see one of these here in minnesota.

I'm dying to see a C7 ZR1 in person.
I do like those C6 ZR1's as well.

I like the fact that the ZR1 has the 2650 blower... LOTS of room to grow.

Car is gonna be a monster once the aftermarket gets up to speed

Do u guys know if the zr1s blower can be bolted on to the c7z?


Even better than that... How about a Whipple 2.9? "875whp on our Mustang dyno on a stock bottom end"
