(It's a trick question, I owned a LS2 GTO, so I know what it would take) $15K might get you there powerwise, but you're going to have to spend more than that to be able to get that power to the ground without breaking something.
To my knowladge the LS3 has higher capabilities than the LS2.


And with 15k, id dust your GT500.

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."
