The best challenge would be if each of you switched cars but not driving style. Let's see which car lasts the longest. It would be over before you got out of 1st gear.

Nice edit. I quoted you prior to your edit. I just stepped away from my laptop for a minute. Genius.

So, what exactly was your point in coming over here other than to cry on our shoulder about your family life?

That's a quote to be made to a good friend (in private) and not in the wolfs den

Your car is not stock (as you've said) and if you are looking for a race, there are many who would like to "take you on"

My 2011 GMC Denali has the 6.2, pretty much the same 6.2 in the Vette. Just saying

Many ways to make power, zr-1 is a great way.
Real big power is $$$ unless you have a machine shop.

I can make it stock. I have the stock tune in my Autocal.

I doubt it adds more than 10 hp anyway.

If that happens, it'll likely be a C6 ZR1.

So your car and your truck are better than our "fancy" 32 valve

Why are you in the ZR-1 section pounding your chest like a gorilla, go back to the C6 section and tell them you friends how rude we are (and what a gentleman you were)
