Help me decide

Ok Ive been thinking about this for a while now. Should I turbo my SS? Or buy a Corvette?

Hers the deal. With the turbo kit I want for my car I would probaly be the fastest car on the street. But I also have always wanted a Vette. So what do you all think? And no I am not concidering a Evo right now.

Well theres another desicion. I was thinking early C5=money to mod or C6=not much extra. Probaly the C6 since I do have a drag car.

Ill tell you what, power is intoxicating, but how much can you honestly do with this new turbo that you cant do with your current setup? ....besides beat a couple extra cars. I mean, you have 600 hp for gosh sakes and your pretty much traction limited on steet tires at every legal speed in the US.

That being said, after driving a C6 and a C6 zo6, id have to say they are pretty awesome cars. They are great to drive, have good power, are comfortable, and get decent gas mileage. Not to mention there is something to be said about walking up to your brand new C6 parked near several jealous onlookers.

Hummmm....A turbo SS would be pretty sweet but there is just something about a C6 with a navigation system and the 400 horsepower. Is the Z06 an option for you? That car is insane.

EvoVIII_MR2005-ZO6 could be probaly after the dealers quit gouging people, and selling them for more than MSRP. It would be kind of hard though. I would have to clean the garage, but doable.

Mercenary3-I make around 500 now and this kit should push me to the 700-800whp range. Yes I would be king of the streets and I would probaly have a single digit 1/4 mile street car. Its a tough decision. Thats why I posted on here. Thanks for the help.
