Default For those of you who supercharge to keep up with the Z06

Vortech has just released a supercharger for the Z06. http://www.vortechsuperchargers.com/news/z06.html
They include new injectors, an ECU reprogrammer, etc. They claim 133 hp increase and 83 ft lbs torque increase.
Wow that must really fly, 538 Hp and 483 torque. Bottom line......over 7 grand.

As if the stock Z06 wasn't fast enough!

Even a supercharged S2000 isn't gonna hang w/ a stock Z06...

I think a turbo S2000 might hang, now if they could only produce the Z06 in the coupe or convertible body as the Z06 is butt ugly from the side with the hardtop configuration.

heh....wahaaaahahahahah. A turbo S2K might hang? If you think 10 cars behind means hanging. And what do you mean Z06 in the Coupe body? There is a four door Z06? Super Car exotics can hang with a STOCK Z06, I can't imagine what the supercharged verison is going to do, besides embarass pretty much anything on the road.

I was thinking more along the lines of the road course like Laguna Seca in California.

<not trying to be an ass, just asking> Have you ever driven a Z06? Those things handle VERY well (for what they are); I still don't think a Turbo'd S2K would win, but it wouldn't be a ridiculous loss or anything.
