I think they are just as competitive as ever. Not sure why some are selling.

REALLY Kyle??? Did YOU just say THAT?!?!?!?!?!?!

Well...

Your packing a lot more weight against the other combos than they used to.

For C we are still one of the lighter cars. The weight thingy is pretty much in proportion. I can't think of any combo that runs C/SA that the LT1s shouldn't be able to run with competitively.

Kyle,
You can't think of enough combos!

Ok...the 396 iron head of PC Richards/Bertozzi, Glassbrenner's 400 Pontiac, Corda's LS1 Vette are some of the fastest in class. That being said, I still feel that we can be competitive against those.

Frank,

I don't think anyone has YOU covered in weight. I mean the car, of course.

Jared, your right! I can't just add some junk to my trunk. To run C/SA I have to add over 200 lbs. and it needs to be distributed through out the car if you like your rear bumper!!! Larger radiator A/C-high altitude type +13lbs on front,different transmission&ratio---converter/real tight,very deep pan +27lbs.change out the whole rear end housing and ratio + about 12lbs. A 100lbs. gets bolted in and the rest in the box, a little insurance weight and WAA-LAA your almost 4000lbs.
