You could always take the afternoon off and bolt up a 3.6L Kenne Bell which catapult you to 141mph traps and 9's with a good 60 foot then you can call it #1 as it will be quicker then a Veyron. I cant think of any other new car that can trap 141mph with such little mods on such an affordable car.

But bang for the buck definitely goes to the Boss. Not only is very impressive in stock form, but the mod potential with the forged engine brings it over the top, and all for 15 to 20 grand less than the ZL1 or GT500. You do give up some creature comforts, but for pure performance for the price it's unbeatable. |

Now once the 1LE comes out, get ready to be knocked out of the top 3 (if it lives up to the hype)

After reading everything I could about the ZL1 and the new GT500 I've come arouņd to thinking I have the best all round Pont car and if I were to buy a Camaro it would indeed be the 1LE. I await the reviews.

You know, if I was in the market to replace my C6 Z06, I would be looking at a Boss 302 before the ZL1/GT500 believe it or not.
The price is right, my personal preference and interest is in N/A motors, and the damn thing spins to 7500 rpm. At least until the C7 corvette is out in a couple years. |

A little bit smaller, a little bit lighter, IRS, probably direct injection or some other method of getting another 30 horses. If that doesn't sound like the recipe for a better Boss, I don't know what would. To me, the current platform seems tailor made for the GT500. Little bigger, little heavier, little more comfortable, live rear axle. The next gen sounds like it will be the right platform for the Boss. |
