Default Sick fast

Took a ride with the owner of East Coast Supercharging in his ATI modded vette. Good Lord! that thing was sick fast!
Now I just have to decide if I want to hold out for next years last C5 vette, or keep my 2001 vert and mod itwith 3.90's and over 500 rear wheel hp with the supercharger/ long tube set up.
Hmm..... Decisions, decisions ...and this was right after a test drive in a new Viper too. The Vette literally would have blown the doors off the stock Viper. :smash:

Did Chris get around to putting an ATI on his black Vette? THat car was making 420 RWHP with just a head and cam package. I can only imagine how it feels with an extra 150 hp! :eek:

Yes, Chris took me for a ride in the car, and it broke 'em free in third without hesitation, and was at the point where it was almost uncontrollable on the street anytime he had his foot in it. 3.73 gears, and a ZO6 trans. Very serious power.... enough to make my girlfriend pee in her pants if I did that to my car and took her for a ride like that!
