Animal House: Germans Bombed Pearl Harbor - Bing video
Even if it was also in 1941, Animal House preceded 1941. Animal House released in 1978 and 1941 in 1979.

It's definitely not 1941 (like that movie too) it is from Animal House after Dean Wormer notifies the frat that all of their test scores from the mid term are failing.....Mr. Blutowski 0.0 and after the frat is convening and drinking, Bluto tries to pick everybody up with the speech and runs down the hall, but nobody follows, then they come up with a plan to sabotage the parade.

Don’t be hard on yourself. Google is your friend before posting such wild thoughts. Not to mention all the sources here.
I would like to see some nice full side skirts. The performance area is already taken care of IMO. Also like to see more options for coilovers and sway bars.

Or have bowed to their GM masters , Hear me out .
You hear "if only this car had 100 more HP it would be the greatest" more than anything else from C8 owners and over a year later we have NOTHING . This is America we INVENTED the speed shop and the hottest American sports car of all time has nothing worthwhile but instead crap like painted engine covers , exhausts and rims , you'd think the C8 was a Corolla
But WHY is this ? ... Every one of the early buyers and aftermarket started their "quest" for more HP and every one mentioned that GM "reached out" to them and they immediately dropped everything C8 , Imagine Youtubers who would sell their mothers for subscribers saw their subscriptions SOAR with C8 modding content just dropped the whole thing .... Same thing with the aftermarket and performance guys
Everyone bowed to GM's wishes and regular C8 owners were abandoned ...Remember when we used to laugh at hearing Ferrari had to approve every sale and banned you if you modded your car , we aren't laughing anymore

If your truly interested in subject, why don't you contact some of the Shops/Companies that have developed natural HP/TQ packages in the past, and lend them your C8 to do it with. Most of the current performance parts have been developed using a customers car.
How much are you will to spend for a 600 Horsepower Naturally Asperated Engine Pkg. on a Mustang Dyno, that numbers are 10-13% lower than than if they used a DynoJet dyno to get that 600 HP number...LOL .
Notice the shape of the stock engine HP/TQ lines and you see that shape has not changed. Why, what the problem? Stock Computer, no Tuning. Exhaust reversion wave causing poor Cylinder fill, what? Heads, Intake, Cam, Exhaust what are the problems that have to be overcome.... LOL
Call Lingenfelter, & ask them what they expect the cost of their 600 HP at the Rear Wheels Package, will be. Then my guess you will need to see if you can upgrade current Transmission to the one that can handle that kind of HP/TQ at rear wheel. Might want to go ahead an upgrade your C8's Stock Axles, Trans Clutches, Exhaust System in preparation. May need to go ahead now and replace C8 stock transmission with Heavier Duty one that will be used in performance Version of C8 to come, to get that out of the way.
Also, have you check the C8 Performance Forum to see what currently being offered Performance Wise?
By the way not all Companies dropped their development pkgs. Maybe GM just told them they would not be a player in Engine Computer Software Tuning/Modifications, etc. GM in no way participate in that EPA wise for the Street. They are OEM.

It takes time for the Aftermarket to get their hands on a car to develop a HP package for it. Primary source for a C8 now is a customer willing to let their C8, be turned over to them for an extended time to develop a HP/TQ package.

2.7 seconds is good enough for me.
Anything more than a mouthful is wasted.

Why all the need for speed when most limits are 75. Bragging rights ?. Tracking ?. Please explain. My c5 states 171 if correct. Have not taken over 100, no need. Why buy in the first place if not enough power for your needs. Saying this with all due respect guys. Not looking for insults or a pissing match, thanks.

I have seen no posts where any vendor was called by GM and told to stop. Please post a cite to this assertion.
