If this was going to be a drag car I would get $3K 4TH GEN roller car and build a monster on the cheap.

If you want to sample a stock bottom end LS2 with an ECS 1500 making 720 whpr on a 6 speed manual, pm me. I am 10 - 15 minutes from the shop. Give me enough lead time to work it into the schedule. If you ask me, LS2 or LS3. I personally like the narrow body and with some widened rims, it's still a sleeper.
My set up has 5000 miles on it since the install. Runs like a raped ape and definitely worth going forced induction. My only regret was waiting 3 years to do it.

Nick- I know this is by far the most bad *** way to go and that would be the plan if i go with the GS, No matter which way I go though, I will be having the boys down at ECS push the envelope with the power for sure.

Z06 gets you the better trans, better rear end, and many upgrades that will get costly on the GS. For the money saved you can easily do forged pistons or a fully forged motor that can take 1000+hp. Used z06 is by far the way to go in this case.

I would not downgrade a Z06 to a car with LS3 engine. A pre-owned Z06 (2010/2011) will get you a great car and forging that 427 still gives you plenty room to grow.
On the FI, I'd certainly consider a TT. Nothing like a TT Z06,I even take that over a ZR1 :-)
Z06 & ZR1 are one a different level car than Coupe or GS. They're made to race.
