How does the boosted GS compare to the Z06?
I personally think it's a more aggressive car once the boost kicks in since the trans gearing is a lot more aggressive in this compared to the c6z I like it after blowing 2 motors in the zo6 I was ready for something i can drive with out worrying about dropping a valve

Just out of curiosity, what ballpark are we talking about, for the boosted kit, install, tune and such ??

Wow, if one were to realize some of that back when resale time comes not so bad I guess but I couldn't take the hit plus eliminating a certain percentage of buyers.
If it were me though, now that I now something about these cars I wouldn't have any problem buying one like yours, in fact would prefer buying one already done, but thats me.
Nice job

Yea it's a lot of money that goes into these builds that I wasn't aware of but to do it right it'll cost you some money I did a pretty good fuel system that will support 800rwhp if I ever decide to push it that hard

Buying one already done saves alot of money. I just bought my 2010 GS with an A&A kit and couldn't be happier! I was looking at Z's but one ride in this and I was in love, plus for the power it makes and the low mileage I couldn't find a comparable Z for the price I paid for this car.

That track is actually very lax and let's people run with no helmet. I always wear mine but didn't for that photo shoot.

Looks like it could be the same as mine. Mine is a ZR1 Extreme spoiler from SS Vettes. I think Supervettes sells the same spoiler too,
