Wow! From the feed back I am getting from my Post, this is obviously a big deal to a lot of owners. More Power!! After reading the responces, I agree that if you want the auto-stick then the upgrade to the SRT6 is probably the answer. However, looking at it from my point of view only, as we are all passionate about the car in our own ways, here are my feelings. I love the coupe as is, so I would rather have the stock looking car without the large spoiler and with the standard transmission but with 350 hp. Sure, there are more suspension upgrades, wheels, etc., but I am not going racing. The extra power for normal driving and the chance of staying with the Vette would be nice. Dan is right about DC improving power, design, etc. every year, So, I can upgrade every 1 or 2 years or just play with my 2004 Baby! I'll sign up for that!
Eventually, some one will come up some hp upgrades that will not cost $12,000, I hope! In the mean time, I am driving a real fun car and still have a warranty!

Is this what you meant by Gas Power; buddy of mine has just added about 50h.p. with his new inventions.

Will he get enough power out of a single exhaust?

Nope; you have to use what your mama gave you.

He looked at my full dual exhaust but gave up trying to make it work.

Just waiting for someone to try it! I am still leaning more to the Kleeman supercharger with thier chip. 350 hp and no internal engine mods and no turbo lag. It's just the price!!!!

Where in Dallas? Since I'll be needing the same thing soon....
