the Z06 for 52K is still the hands down winner for HP/$ in my book.
Check this month's CAR & DRIVER. Page 124. Lingenfelter just released a supercharger kit for $6800. Smoke 'em if ya got 'em!
http://www.caranddriver.com/xp/Caranddri...ingenfelter.xml "In addition to the blower, manifold, and drive belts, the LPE kit comes with an engine-computer reprogrammer, larger fuel injectors, and every nut, bolt, and gasket you'll need. LPE estimates that the average shade-tree mechanic can install the kit in about eight hours."
"The $58,016 (sans warranty) Corvette roared to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds. One hundred mph arrived in a startling 7.7 seconds, then to 150 mph in 17.9. For those taking drag-racing notes, the car cleared the quarter-mile in 11.7 seconds at 126 mph."
"A Corvette equipped with the LPE kit will enable its owner to walk cockily anywhere singing the M.C. Hammer hit "U Can't Touch This." Anywhere. The $185,000 Porsche 911 GT2 trails it to 60 mph by 0.1 second and to 100 by 0.6 second and does the quarter-mile in 12.0 seconds at 121 mph."
"Now, some of you shoppers may be wondering why not simply go out and buy a $50,871 Corvette Z06? We must remind you that the Z06 needs 4.0 seconds to reach 60 mph and 12.4 seconds to clear the quarter."
In my book it does!
