I know where your coming from brutha. Why do THEY let US have these cars.

I know the answer, but it can't be put into words.

Rock On. And get on those mods Roger.

Exactly. Which is why I like to go out early on a Sunday morning. Little to no traffic, and every now and again I get to educate someone who's out doing the same thing as me. Been deep into the 160's more than once to do it.

a guy after my own heart. early morning crisp airempty freeways. i think the thing i like the most is a little 50mph punch off with a c-5 zo6. like leaving famoso 2weeks ago pulled onto 99s c5 was just ahead pulled next to him to wavebut all i got was this snobby look he slowed so did I to 50 let him hit it first then woosh pulled him by 3 cars at80 then all i saw was him slow. this is where the KOTH shines. I just got done running 12.06 @119,23 with an awful 211 60 ft. but from 50 the KOTH is like a mid to low 11sec car.

yes it is!! not even from 50, i granty you that from 20-30mph ,the Z is hell
but comparing 500 hp car with zr1 400 hp, at 5_gear, cant beat new tt porsch,or m5... its normal.
so bring your car to 475 hp. then you can be side by side with M5!!

i went to a very special friend Corey henderson. (HPT) in new braunfells texas. he is on the link for perfomance on the registry. he did a full siamese porting of my inj. housings and plenum.took them a little farther than ever before as a trial deal . and they really work car started out with 372.3 hp after with his tuning 409.9 that was with a set of headers and a off the shelf flowmaster exhaust. since then i have redesigned the exhaust and currently the car is producing 431.3 rwhp. and 2 weeks ago @ famoso drag way in bakersfield ran 12.06 @119+mph and that was with a pathetic2.11 60 ft time . i am getting ready to send him an extra set of heads to port then drive to see him to put them on and tune . i can hardley wait. only problem if it runs 1150 or lower i gotta put a cage in the car i gotta set of mt et street radials and am going to try them out next fri @ famoso. just need .07 for an 11sec time which has been my goal from the start . i owe this cars performance to corey and no one else . go see him he does one heck of a job. its him or Mark in my book (JMHO)

Definitely going to go with the headers. Not sure what kind or where to get them. As far as the M5 goes, I never saw my actual speed. I had one eye on the tach and the other eye on the road when this cat passed me. I thought for a second of shifting to 6th, but it wouldn't of done any good. By the way Jon, it was a black M5.

2 places sell headers stainless works and henderson performance . corey has a really nice tune for cars with your mods once you get headers

Have you talked to Corey lately? Has he started making them yet? I was on the list but, I couldn't wait forever. So I got off the list to order SW's and Marc told me they were a 6-8 week wait. I would rather have Corey's if given the choice but, I'd rather have SW's than none.
