lol damn how much can a rwd car honestly use on the street. Your car is a monster!! When cars have that much power I bet more often than not the winner of the race with another car with even more power comes down to traction and who reacted quicker. These cars are so fast the race is over half the time so fast 
I will never say no to more power in the higher gears but for a street tire daily driven car it's complete ridiculousness. Back on 575 rwhp car would occasionally grab in second at full throttle but now that I'm up to 640 it's a tire shred fest until 3rd gear. I know a local guy (and forum member) that put down 754 and he could rip them at 120mph in 4th.
I've gotten used to part throttle acceleration but it still takes a bit of playing with the gas pedal to maximize acceleration and grip at the same time.

I like the C7Z but I much prefer the centri design so I want my stingray to be my version of a Z06 
ECS 1500 with meth and headers. Make around 620rwhp with the auto A8 and car should be plenty fast. Build and strengthen parts and build over time and as things break. Thats my plan.

I was at 430rwhp until I got her back Wednesday now I'm sitting at 651rwhp until I go to the smaller pulley. I should have done this years ago I just couldn't make up my mind what I wanted to do and what shop I wanted to use.

You know the only thing that worries me is your cars must get up to crazy speeds so damn fast that it would be easy to see no cars around and an open stretch of highway and gun it and blow by a cop doing well over 100 mph. Jail time. That thought worries me.

My 07 is stock with NPP. I'm thinking next year I'll get either an E-force or a centri and headers and should put me in the ~550 range.
