The first deliveries were about a week ago. Chances are not many are out playing at this point, and hopefully when they do, it will be at a track and not out on a public street where some innocent person could be injured.
With your car being supercharged, no doubt you should be able to take a C7 - but not sure how that is going to prove anything about the C7s capabilities. Go stock for stock, and see the results.

I went to autox with it. Probably will hit the 1/4 this weekend. I have plans the weekend after, but the one after that, so 3 weekends from now, ill probably hit the dyno and start tuning it. 30whp from an n/a motor on tune only is awesome. Gotta love DI.
Dunno how that gives a bad name or is crazy?

have you looked at the forums already? They been at the drag and autocrossing, half mile and mile with vids check teh tech section ...They don't waste time.
You will have to be pretty modded to pull one so a modded car vs a stock car? I wouldn't brag about that IMO..now the C5z guys have a shot.

Coincidence, a buddy of mine was driving to a Taekwondo Tournament and then drove to visit me for the weekend. He has a 2001 Z06 with a 228r 112lsa cam in it with a forged bottom end and headers with stock ls6 intake and such (dyno's 395rwhp) and he ran into a stock C7 on the interstate on his way here and he said he put a car or so on it from a 60 roll. Very little modding and the c7 probably would have edged him. The c7's are going to be great cars!
