Default Question

I often consider some upgrades (heads, cam, lt headers maybe ZO6 intake, or maybe a supercharger) than I consider selling my C5 and put the cash twords a nice C6 (already 430 hp) any thoughts??

Maybe I should test drive some C6 models, as well as some modified C5s, anybody in Northeast PA interested in offering a ride or test drive in either?

I would do the supercharger and call it a day. I have driven my dads C6 Z06, a friends 08 M6 coupe and my blown and cammed C5. The C5 is just a lot of fun. The power of the LS3 to LS1 stock for stock would not be enough to make me want a C6 and I prefer the styling of the C5. However all 3 motors in stock trim the LS7 is a totally different animal . Look into supercharger packages if you dont do the cam and keep the motor stock it will be like a stock car until you get into the boost
