You're heading in the right direction there! That's RWHP too, so you're talking 750-800HP at the crank. You're going to have to get some damn good tires and maybe a little extra on the suspension in order to be able to get all that power to the pavement!

Suspension, wheels and tires are all part of the conversion!

How about a Corvette ZR1 and with some Lingenfelter upgrades?

739 RWHP & 720 RWTQ

Gotta agree with that.... and I'm a Ford man. The Corvette simply rocks.

It's probably going to be a Vette and after seeing that 6K mod for the ZR1 turn 141 in the 1/4 all I can say is wow!!!

$150k budget? Sheesh... down payment on a house there guy!

Is your company hiring?

If it were me and had that much to blow on a car, I'd be checking out the Audi R8. Or get 2 or 3 $50-75k cars!

But given your choices, I'd go for the Vette. You'll have enough left over for a few LI Quad HPs to put all over the car to make it 2000% stealth.
