ahh!
He has 430hp and mine y'all know has 415. The only time he beat me was when I missed a shift to 3rd once. Other than that I got him 8 out of 9 times. What a car.
I don't think i could beat a Z06 though unless I souped my car up. My porshe mechanic told me I could get 650 hp out of mine for about $10k (bigger turbos, beafier clutch, bigger intercoolers, chip, and exhaust work) .
Does that sound right? Also would it hurt the resale of my car if I souped er up?

Which was it an 08 or a c5, which is last generation vette and the 436 hp is the c6.

08 is a C6 and could be 430hp or 436hp depending on whether it had the optional NPP exhaust. I just sold my 08 C6 convertible and bought an 04 TT cab to replace it as the C6 was useless in the winter.
The TT is great with snow tires
