As some of you know, I'm really wrestling with this purchase. GTO vs. Corvette. I found what I think will save me. Why buy a Corvette? Mostly for the performance. Why not mod' a GTO to Corvette performance level? While researching I found this link.

Here's the deal. With cam, LT headers, air box and underdrive pulley the Z06 grew from 363 to 427 rwhp! A gain of 64 ponies! Torque went from 349 to 401! This is with stock throttle body, manifold, heads and catback exhaust. I'm anxious to see what we can come up with for our GTO's.
PS - Wait 'til you hear this beast idle.
