King,
I'm pretty sure I'm not from Texas... else I'd be wearing a 10-gallon hat, snakeskin boots, those string things they wear instead of a tie (what IS that thing anyways?), overly tight jeans and I would have bought back my old Viper from the insurance company, and melted it down into a light-duty belt buckle. I'd also be saying things like "lookee here now", "y'all", and I'd have a job "helping" pigs through fences.
Just kidding... that was a lot of trash in a single paragraph! In all seriousness, there are a few fast cars up this way. One of my racin' buddies had a ZR-1 and we raced and were neck and neck... he got a Z06 and then got it TT'ed, then was putting a C5R 427 in it for added fun. So, I have to build something to smoke him and all the other locals for now, and when the SRT arrives, I will have learned what NOT to do, and hopefully I won't blow it up
(key word being - hopefully)
I really think a well prepped SRT built strong with low compression and a short stroke could make 1,500hp without too much trouble - and I hope to put that theory to the test
