Default Link to performance site?

Can someone give me a link to a site that's a little more agressive in Corvette performance. Before you flame me I must say that I enjoy this forum but would welcome more info on street performance. I have been an Outlaw 10.5 drag racer for 30 yrs. but recently retired and bought a vette for cruising. My last car was a 2006 Mustang w/ a 605 ci. BB and two stages of nitrous so I'm no stranger to speed.

Where are you located? We are close with the Keen family here in FL, Jimmy & Vic just got back into 10.50 racing. Also know several others. Just what are you looking for for Corvette Preformance? Only a few here running the 10.5 classes & if you are looking for hard-core performance this is the site, you just need to get to the right section or contact a Supporting Tuner that builds 1,000 HP plus vettes (us in FL, Cartech/ECS/Vette Doctors in NJ) for any info you may want. On 10.5, I'm sure you already know the sites for that group.

Thanks for your replys. Nice avatar pewter99! I 'm not really looking for an all out racing site, I've given all that up. I'm just interested in street performance of Corvettes as compared to other cars. Like how does the 350Z compare with a base C6. I just need to know what I'm up against before I get there , you know. Maybe I need a street racing site so I don't get burnt here. Sorry if this thread offends anyone!

I'm new to this site and I'm not sure of the rules on posting other site URLs, but if you did a google search for "LS1 Tech" *hint*, you might find an in depth LSx Engine tech site, or two.

So to be clear then...you are looking for information on street racing..ie, you want to know how fast the new Mustang is or to use your reference, how fast the new 350Z is when you pull up along side of them at midnight at a stop light?

Talon, I would never advocate street racing! I just would like to know how the competition stacks up. Yes , like the Mustang GT, Shelby, 350Z,etc. FOR REFERENCE USE ONLY!
