I don't have much trouble winning with the stock engine, at least not on a road course. The few cars that are faster are not faster because they have bigger engines, but rather because they have more...

Very big difference in my opinion. Having said that, I think a used C5 Z06 is the best deal for performance per dollar; they are selling near 20K now. The C6 is much faster, much more grip, much...

Easy answer, because a modded LS3 vette with a blower or a cam is not a substitute for a Z06, not even close in my mind. Horsepower is only one part of the equation, and the stock Z06 has plenty of...
