It is called anecdotal evidence look it up, insurance statistics say: young male, high HP = really really bad.

I would be interested in 420 whp claim with heads / cam for 4th gen. What was you setup? I raced 4th gen for a long time, in fact from day one with LS1.com. Back then we could never really get past the 3" exhaust limit, I mean single of course. Yes I've seen all kinds including 4" and twin 2.5" ovals. So what exhaust were you running?

Iron block 6.0 with ls3 top end. Custom grind cam, built by a local guy. Never seen dyno sheet but trapped 116. 3450lbs and 116 trap puts it in the 420 range.

I drove my 70 Chevelle the day after I got my license. Sure, it was a stock 350 but it still got up and went. After that I drove a 98 Z28 with the LS1 and T56.

Don't remember headers I think cheap pacesetters, no cats x pipe and dynomax bullet dumps.

yep the dumps got rid of the problem of feeding it over the axle.

My car has 25 more horsepower than what you daily drove when you were 18, and I'm 17

Wheel horsepower. But the dynos we have seen on LT1s are pretty much the same.

I am in the early stages of my new car hunt. Challenger SRT and Camaro 2SS are at the top of my list. I have driven base model Challengers in the past as rentals and liked them. Checked out a SRT in person on Friday. I really did not like the interior. Thought it looked cheap. Could not get over it and will probably eliminate it all together. I am coming from a Mercedes. I don't expect it to match up with MB but don't want too much of a drop off. The upgraded Harmon Kardon is a good system though. Went right from there to a Chevy dealership and test drove the Camaro 2SS. Wow!! Loved the interior. Loved the car. I know it is all subjective but I far prefer the Camaro. The only question now is whether or not I wait on the new Infiniti Q60 coupe. Still going to check on Lexus RC 350F and Caddy coupe. This is fun

I love the Challenger's interior. My 2009 Challenger looked like it was leftover from a 2002 Charger or Avenger. That said the Camaro is really nice, but I'm a purist and the 1SS interior seems more "race ready" to me.

Rumor states the Camaro SS can go from 0-60 in under five seconds
