[QUOTE="ANGREY, post: 15738372, member: 188865"] I want more torque. If that "screws up the characteristics" of the car, so be it. The car weighs nearly 3800 lbs and for street driving, it's fun, but I don't always like to live 4k rpms and above. If I can do it safely without endangering the powertrain, then adding a few lbs of boost for much needed torque. Looking at the torque curves for the stock vs. typical whippled dyno sheets I've seen, the biggest advantage of the twin screw is having stock max torque at a much lower rpm and maintaining it through a very fat long duration of the rpm range. I'm not alone. If you like the car the way it is...hats off to you. I'm personally going to want more eventually and that's why we have an entire aftermarket of blower and turbo manufacturers, tuners, etc, to increase performance of cars to suit the needs/desires of consumers who are happy but want more. I would say that not only am I NOT alone, but there's a good number of people out there that would love a GT500 with most/nearly all of the handling characteristics of the 350 but the torque and bigger power of the blown 500 motors. The ZL1 is a perfect example of where the pony cars are going. I don't really care for the 10 speed auto, but just as turns and stops are part of a track sequence, so too are apexes and straightaways. [/QUOTE]
