That's the definition of bench racing. I know my car isn't the quickest on the street or track - the fastest car belongs to the guy/girl with the deepest pockets - period

No it's not killing me - if it was I wouldn't have lept my "slow 385hp 2001 Z06" - I would have upgraded to the '02, '03 or '04 405hp car
- I don't NEED the latest an greatest to thoroughly enjoy my car.
And - where have I
ever said the Z06 is "just" a modded Coupe? By it's very nature it requires not easily duplicated changes - in the C5 Z06 it is the FRC body that lends extra rigidity, and in the C6 Z06 it is the fixed roof panel that provides this torsional rigidity lost with using the aluminium frame.

This "circles I run in"
is the reality of LS1/LS6 and LS2(and probably LS7) communities all over the country.
In Houston, I have yet to see a stock GTO, or CTS-V for that matter - even if only ehaders, or intake or tuning - THAT is the reality.
Again - it is "run what you brung" - and the discussion of "stock vs stock" is only of significance when magazine and bench racing and playing card games.
In a stock for stock discussion my car would kick Coloroadosilvers C5 Coupe from Texas all the way back to Colorado - but what point is a "stock for stock" discussion? His car ust about put down more power at idle than my does at 6000rpm.
Again, on the street and track it is "car vs car" - no bullshit, no excuses -
