No. I'm afraid something'll break. Plus, I can't lock it up to save my life. On a cold night, if I drop it into 3rd and punch it while going 80, my traction control turns on.

A&A Vortech Supercharger kit; supercharger cam recommended by Andy; custom dyno tune by Andy (repeatedly, the cat monitors still don't come on and no one knows why); upgraded fuel pump from a C6 Z06; and a custom exhaust with much larger cats adapted from a C6 Z06 to also accommodate all the extra smog-related plumbing that the C5 Z06 came with.

It also has the nightflyer kit with the light cannons and LEDs everywhere else; the T-1 sway bars (which I don't think are that great) with C6 Z06 end-links; and LG's adjustable bilstein coilovers (should've gotten the KWs that I have on my viper instead, but oh well).

You see what the wheel horsepower is and I can't recall the exact calculation, but that comes out to a little bit over 750hp at the crank. It's a beast, but drives like a Honda when necessary. The gas mileage is also pretty decent. With occasional spirited driving on the freeway, I'm getting a combined MPG of about 16.

The only hassle has been the cat monitor not running. Andy got it to run by doing that drive cycle they recommend, but once the battery got disconnected, I was screwed and still kind of am.
