Yeah those big blowers get so hot they cant make any power. the supersnake should have been a turbo car...the zl1 makes 520 rwhp and can hit low 12's..on street tires, and the new 16 camaro can do it n/a with 405 rwhp ... Can you say heat soak!!!! You want a blower that makes power and don't get to hot get a paxton vortech or procharger..otherwise turbos are the top Dog!!!

So they doubled the horsepower and over doubled the price and somehow managed to only pick up .5 seconds from stock on the 1/4? Could they not afford to put some better "street" tires on there to fix that embarassing 1/4 mile time? FRPP did way better than that with only 630 horses and that was almost a year ago.

Lame
Low 12's @ 116 can easily be attained with tune, bolt ons and tire.

No traction.

I need the three gauge instrument cluster though. And those seats

Its Road & Track, theyre good for testing the Smar Car, Prius, Camry, Aztek, Pilot, Etc lol. Lets get Evan Smith on it, he would prob squeeze 10's or low 11's out of this thing.

I never pay attention to what R&T, Motor Trend, Car and Driver, Etc. say on their magz, they've suck'd at driving/testing the 1/4 since I can remember (1999 lol)
