Just seeing if I could get a few Texans all fired up. Mission Accomplished. Anyway, I am originally from Ohio and the Buckeyes are gonna whoop up on the Longhorns here in the first part of the college football season.

See, Texas is big enough to have more than one college so we don't all have to root for the same school.

I am sure a 400 or may be bumped up 500hp vette would outperform this on a complicated track?

Weight would be the only thing, over the front wheels. But I would love to drive a twin turbo vette out of any turn anytime. It would faster at 99.9 percent of the tracks in the USA. Jason it looks like you are having some fun down there in the great state of Texas. When you have a free minute after you get done let us all know!!!

Please explain (all other things being equal) how a 600hp Corvette would be slower than a 400hp version around ANY track. No track is all tight turns without some (even short) straights. Assume a professional driver to remove any rookie mistakes. Taking your reasoning to the next level.... Indy cars should detune to lower hp levels to go faster.

where would you use that kind of power??? in a straight line
Thats the nice thing about a V8 with a turbo smooth throttle response and quick spool up time for great overall manors on a track.

Jason and Trevor and the guys at Texas Speed really know their stuff. I spent a lot of time up front talking to Jason about what I wanted out of my C5 regarding performance and drivability. They delivered perfectly. I have every confidence they will get the tuning figured out on this Twin Turbo setup. I'm curious to see how it goes. I know there will be a C6 in my future and I would like to try forced induction of some sort.
Keep us posted Jason!
