Nitrous is like a disposable camera and FI is like a digital SLR. Nitrous is for every now and then - I want boost all the time. Besides street light racing has little intrest for me IMHO...

You can easily get a reliable 550HP from these engines TT and turn key installed for about $15K.

The ZR1 is quite a machine limited availibility wicked power it would be a great car to have. However TT the Z and you'll never look at another vette unless its in your rear view mirror.

Nice analogy I agree I had Nitrous on another car, ended up adding a turbo not the same at all. You would use a whole bottle of N2O rowing through the gears, IMO nothing beats have the power under your foot when ever you want/need it

From what I understand, the dealerships won't even talk to you if you planned on exporting the car. I know that certain manufacturers will penalize the dealership for selling a new car to someone that is going to export it.

When I lived in Canada, they wouldn't sell me a new Dodge even though I was legally living there and could do all the transfer paperwork myself.

yea TT setp up is nice but like i said, i just find it pointless unless u build the engine up and go higher...to me $16k for a TT that gives the same amount of power as bolts ons and nitrous for $3000. If i was going to get TT i would build the engine up and go for 700-800whp
