Whether it would "utterly destroy the GT500 without putting up a sweat" or not is questionable, I would have to agree it would smoke the GT500.
Now that begs the question, what is the easiest way to get an additional 100 HP? Headers, CAI and a tune, or is that more like a 60 HP gain? Although those 3 may be enough to take the GT500.

LTs, catback, tune, CAI, and pulley should do the trick. However a similarly modded GT500 will respond better to mods than the ZL1 will so they will gain more HP when directly compared. Their issue will be getting that power to the tires. On anything but a prepped race surface with DRs and every trick known to mankind in the best possible conditions they will be high 10s at best IF that. Typically they will be low 11s to mid 10s in regular conditions while the ZL1 with it's much better design will be much better. In a roll race tho they will have the advantage. Our advantage comes from the fact that we can get power to the ground much more effectively and efficiently.
