I was just watching Hot Rod TV this weekend and they did a supercharger on an LS1 Camaro, along with all the supporting mods like gears, exhaust, headers, etc. It made like 541 whp running 12 lbs of boost with twin intercoolers, and that wasn't even with an engine build.

I wouldn't be worried about too many Evos or STis/STIs with a car like that. I wouldn't even give them a second glance. I'd just ignore the ones wanting to race, like I ignore Hondas.
I think for the most part the Evos are a better handling vehicle than most of the domestics, but when it comes to straight-line performance, in the end, it's America FTW.

Okay kid. If you go back and reread my posts you'll notice I said we'd sell more CTS-V's. I never said the car sold poorly. You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

What you're "feeling" is the reasurance that since you payed more, its better.
These are two completely different cars though and I'm always surprised to see people switch from an Evo to a luxury car such as yours. Why by the Evo in the first place?
