12 PSI is pretty high for stock compression.

No, I'm the type of smart guy who will go back and give him a second chance.

That didn't work out... new setup was turbo. Fuel curve was retarded, ignition timing was idiotic, and he stopped 8psi shy of where I told him to.

It's all in the tune!

Made 358whp on mine... tuner was very conservative. In my case, too conservative. He gave too much fuel, washed my cylinder walls and scored them.

I was never really impressed by the interior feel of the vette. However, good friend of mine has a new C6 Z06 - power wise, that car is incredible.

A C5 Vette is not much bigger than an S2000, and a C6 is smaller than a C5.

To each their own. I liked it much more than the S2000 (for example.) and that was with the C5, the C6 is a marginal improvement.

You're also a much larger guy, so you fit nicely in it.

I'm only 5'6" 135lbs... I fit much better in the NSX & S2000.
