lol i'd buy a 63 split because it's hands down my fav car and i respect the vette for it's history and style or a new one because it's a good car but one way or another it wouldn't just be a vette, i'd be a lingenfelter so trust me, it would be very far from a norm vette. min 1000 horse and 1000 torque

Alright heres my logic

Z06 Corvette = Panty Dropper
Cobalt that owns Z06 Corvette = Girls wont know that and will say "its just a cobalt" , however will give car enthusiasts tight pants from their hard on

As much as i love my car.... i'll take the panty dropper

VW is using a direct injection 1.4L dual charger setup in some european models. I think it produces about 170hp (I can't remember torque numbers, but it's supposed to be very good for the size of the motor). It actually uses an electronic clutch to disconnect the supercharger once the turbo has spooled up, thus increasing efficiency.

Nissan had a car in the late 80s called the March SuperTurbo, that was designed to dominate japan's 1.0L class racing. It used a 900cc I4 and both F/I methods to produce about 130hp, I think.

Now that is the way to go. That is a great idea. I can see how that would help a ton.
