Message	Check my profile for current cars... I've had a worked up 68 Camaro and a big block Trans Am. My brother is a Corvette guy (he's owned a 74 convertible, a C4, and now has a C5). The Z is not a 0-60 torque monster. I've got dyno sheets on my ECU'd (Stage III TT) that show 342.8 RWHP. I'll email if you like. (tbaranek@rcscorporation.com) I've also got 256,000 miles on a 400 hp (estimate a the crank) all original (except for upgrades) car...try that with a muscle car. Although, with full disclosure, looks like I blew a head gasket late last week. Anyway, other than a 911 (turbo), I don't believe you can find a more dynamic (handling, brakes, accelerating, etc...)refinded car...although the C5 vette is close.
