They sell them at the same dealership that has the convertible Z06's.

From one noobtard to another - stop the madness.
Thanks noob for pointing out my ignorance. I have already made it clear that I made a mistake posting it as a convertable z06. I dont know how to change it on the poll. Anybody know how to do this please tell me. I was assumeing they would make a convertable, but I was wrong. I have since clearified that if I choose to do the convertable it would obviously be the 6.0(supercharged) if not it would be the new 7.0 coupe(stock).

You don't want to drive any of these cars in the snow anyway.
WERD...the C6 Z06 no question...I really want that car...

Can a moderator or administrator delete the word convertable from the POLL please. Thank you, but I can't figure out how to do it.

Could be please explain your reasoning as to why twin turboing a G35 to 500whp would not be fun?

Also, you won't see 500hp on the EVO with pump gas. Best you'll see is ~400 whp.

Well I was planning on hitting the 500whp with alcohol injection and pump gas. Do you see this a being a problem or would you recommend me go another route? I get BP 93 at my local station and for **** and giggles there is 100unleaded 15-20min away.

I don't know which turbo I would choose now after some new info on some other turbo's is looking very promiseing. I originally said I would choose the GT35R Kit, but i am not so sure of that now. I would much rather have a quicker spool and hit 500, so a smaller turbo with less lag might be a better choice.

Is there a turbo that you can think of off hand that would spool better than the GT35R and get me to the 500whp goal with alcohol injection being used?
