    Z06's got played out. I'm waiting for some quality ZR1 stuff.

    I don't think you're that crazy for the Corvette (as in probably marrying it if they had a chance to).
    I married Mrs. Quigney. A Corvette is nothing in comparison

    ^ Im with you on this one. I think they should have stuck N/A.
    I think the main reason they went with the supercharger is for aftermarket big numbers. A pully swap and a tune and this thing will be seeing 800+hp.

    as for corvette, i got a picture with a dude who has a corvette with 930RWHP check out "Mallet" and yeah thats it
    Bigger turbo, after market computer management, larger inter cooler, injectors, a whole new strengthened engine block/internals, and tons of $$$$$$$$ should get you that 1000hp.......................oh BTW to hell with fuel consumption, with emissions, with drivability and with torque. Most likely this 1000hp RB powered GTR (older one) will be beaten sh1tless by your average Camry driver on normal stop and go traffic.

    Show me these street driven 1000hp skylines? Seriously, if they are that easy to achieve then show me.

    People are mushing their JP auto mythology. Skylines were often tuned, but Supras 2JZ engines are the ones that end up at 1k hp on stock internals. As far as I know skylines take quite a bit more work to get that sort of performance without detonating your engine...

    This thread went from awesome to suck-fest right about the time people started talking about things other than the ZR1 and LS9.

    They fixed that bit to. There is some upgraded interior package with full leather and a bunch more.

    Direct injection no doubt offers more power but it could never match the power of a full blown engine. Maybe direct injection and supercharger

    O it won't be cheap either. Expect price well north of $100,000

    Agree, 2JZ is far stronger than the RB...................Race Bred my @ss.

    I hope HSV is watching this. Maloo + LS9 + mini-tubs = awesomeness.

    Does the LS1,2,3 have the same heads as the ls9, that would be a worthy addition for the LSX engines here especially with the in built air/water intercooler wont be efficent as cooling the charge as a good air/air though). IIRC the corvette is limited to room so twin snails were too hard to acccomodate unless they went a system like the Gen TT kit here in Australia.

    That would look very nice in my skiboat

    Im my best Borat Voice" its very very niiicee"

    P.S MonaroCuntry STFU will you ,its getting old and tired, each to their own, you dont like jap anything WE GET IT

    Still prefer twin snails though , much better than a supercharger IMHO and plenty of scope for tuning
