Sure felt like it with it in 4WD and it just took off........ :icon_eek:

In 2WD you could burn the tires right off  :laugh:

here are the stats from the SS

Performance
0 - 30 (sec): 2.5
0 - 45 (sec): 4.1
0 - 60 (sec): 6.3
0 - 75 (sec): 8.9
1/4 Mile (sec @ mph): 14.35 @ 96.33

I've seen one magazine test that got one to go 14.0 or 14.1 @ 100mph Dave. I believe some people have bested those magazine times w/ their SS' as well...I also seem to remember reading something about the 2wd ones putting down better times than the awd version.

Ya i was venturing on some of the TB and envoy forums and with that LS2 in there it opens a whole wide world making Vette engine parts work in there..... :icon_eek:

Saw HP TV on Spike today and they had a LS2 C5 vette with the STS twin turbo kit on it (one that goes under the car and replaces the mufflers)

thing sounded like a JET

535 hp on 7 PSI  :icon_cool:
