Marty, I can take my Car to Ken Lingenfelter and get 650hp NA for half of what the additional cost would have been. Quote:
Ted, There is a member of the GSR that took a 2014 Z51 and converted it into a GS replica. The strip looks great in the back, It looks horrible in the front. That is what happens after a 12 hour work day followed by a 6 hour connecting flight. Quote:

Jerry, You took me for a ride in your 415 LPE, That is a serious machine. Thank you everyone for the kind words, I have been working with this dealer since January to buy this exact car. We were close in April when GM offered 8K incentives for all GS with the big brakes. May and June offered no such incentive, When I called the salesmen he told me they would get me the price my wife agreed upon. Yes, I do listen to my wife when it comes to a large purchases like this.

When I first read this, I was thinking someone drove a ZR1 into the ocean...lol. Then I got it, corral. Great looking cars.

I went through the same cost comparison analysis (modified Stingray vs GS vs Z06) last Sept before I bought the Z06. Things change, including incentives on different models. Here's the result of my analysis from nine months ago:
Stingray: $72,500 (3LT) + 13,500 (ACS kit, because I like the wide-body look of the GS and Z06) + $18,000 (Lingenfelter to get the LT1 to 650 HP) - Total: $104,000 GS: $78,800 (3LT) + $18,000 (Lingenfelter to get LT1 to 650 HP) - Total: $96,800 (there were no incentives on GS at the time, but I could probably have negotiated $5,000 off to knock the total back to $91,800 - then the question - would I really have modified the GS LT1...?) Z06: $80,605 (1LT but with HUD). 650HP/650FTLB torque from factory. Started to look attractive, then the $8,039 factory incentive settled the debate.

and don't forget the z06 has a warrantee,and lots of better parts inside the motor,which allows changing blower,adding another easy 150 hp when you want to/I bought a new 2016 2lz with quite a few additional options for 70,500 at Christmas/24,000 off msrp//oh and 2 days at Ron Fellows at spring mountain too//no brainer

Remember those are Summer only tires, unless you like 4 wheel drifts into the weeds!

There are no weeds in Michigan. My car is just about a month old and I still have not broke 100 miles on her. Thanks Jeff.
