my vette NEW was stickered @ 56ish K.. 3lt z51 fully loaded. it was bought for 46-48ish and i bought it 1 year old with 20k on it for 37. you could get a BASE 1lt for 42k new but i didnt what a base model so i paid a little more for a 1 year old loaded one.

that being said.. IMO its Far nicer and far "more car" than a new 5.0 or boss, and while the new GT500 would beat stock ls3, they are going for 54+k and besides being faster i STILL think the vette is a nicer car.

if you are going to mod it all of that really means not a damn thing.. HP for HP the c6 always seems to out perform the mustang.

Yea, it should...the weight difference is so much of a deficit to overcome for a 5.0

But you know how to drive

And I am sure that iron block is making substantial power, is it not?

Considering when he gets his fuel and clutch isues worked out he will have no problem making over 1300rw, yeah I'd say 1100 is "okay" for being parts limited. God that must suck, huh? lol.

Hey I'm parts limited by a good old ford shit block. I'm just to cheap and don't give a shit to change it. I learned my lesson years ago. You guys can have the horsepower race, I will stay slow and drive my car every chance I get. It won't be in the shop getting worked on. I was cruising around with the top down yesterday with the boys in the back seat having a ball, that's what it's about for me now. I guess after so many surgeries and illnesses I have realized that shit don't matter. Enjoy what you have and let the rest go, life is to damn short to have to impress anybody.
