F Body w/ C5R transplant and appropriate suspension + brake mods

or

ZO6, stock

LG MotorSport could put a new engine in your Fbody for about $24k. Fast and exclusive. One of a kind on your block. Untouchable on the straights. Even if the competion had a supercharged LS6.

ZO6 would still out handle you on the course. But hell, being pressed into the seat in reaction to your right foot spasms would be worth it ? Right?

Your opinions please. Daydreamers only.

I'd make 525 RWHP with a strongly built 383 at 8.5:1 CR and with a little boost. As a matter of fact, that's my plan for my AIX engine, as the budget allows.
Well, it will start in the mid 400 range but the bottom end will handle 600 RWHP. From 450 to 600 RWHP is only some boost and fuel system work away AND it would be thousands less in cost than the $24K you're budgeting.
