How so? (Serious question)

You start off with more displacement and better engine internals. Vettes are built to handle high amounts for torque better than Z's. Granted some people will likely disagree but I'd feel better about a muscle car designed for high horsepower and torque to start with.

Btw, going forced induction without supporting mods is a stupid idea and will cost you big $ in the long run. You're at the very least going to need an exhaust that matches better with a turbo setup and an upgraded clutch. Also, cooling is always an issue so supporting oil and transmission coolers are a must.

I agree with you on that. I thought people were poo-pooing the idea of 450 RWHP on ANY street-driven car, and that's just not true. You can have a lot of fun with more than 500 RWHP and drive it on the street with no problem.
