Imagine what EITHER car could do with a CAI, pulley change and a tune.

if you notice, the OEM's seem to try to hold back a % of HP/TQ to keep warranty repairs in check. the bean counters control more than we think
it's like the OEM INtake & exhaust systems are restrictive on purpose, for noise abatement, and for drivetrain warranty
the LSx engines have always been low spec from the factory, the LS1 was rated ~315, was really about ~340 stock, and mild mods got it over 350 easy.
if the ZR1 responds the same, percentage wise, it would be over 700 with bolt ons & stuff, and the same for the GT.
Chris, you keep up with stuff & surf a lot, does anyone test cars "as driven" with the basic mods: CAI, exhaust, or anything like that?
are "normal" people able to control that much HP and not endanger the general public? or does the stratospheric price keep "Joe Dirt" from buying one?
