Nice looking car you got there, black on black is the best color for sport cars IMO

How well will you like it when gas hits 4 bucks a gallon?

They are not that bad on gas.

The reason many are 13/14 second cars are because you get alot of people that dont mod them/rag the hell out of em/dont know how to drive. A 01/02 SS with a good set of street tires is a high 12 second car. You put a set of $1500 heads on it and a cam and your in the 11's if you can put the power down. God forbid you do forced induction. Gen III gm small blocks and that includes the truck engines and absurdly easy to make power with and regaurded as the best small block V8 design ever. You can take and swap in a 6.0 block from a truck with all stock internals and push in the area of 1000hp with F/I.

but i think that what you are forgetting, is that you cannot just bolt on 600 extra hp, and go out and run it..there has to be alot of other things built up to handle the added power

I understand that, the point I was making is as far as the block and internals they are good foir monster power.
