I think you bought it because you wanted it? Maybe because you could afford it? Maybe because you are not a very good driver and you need AWD? My 2 cents ,I bought a Stingray and I track it 1/4 mile and I wanted to upgrade to eray or Z06 but instead I will supercharger it. Save a ton of money and be as fast as those 2 and have lots of money for beer. One last thing, I live in Quebec and lived where we had snow 6 months a year and drove 100 mph with only winter tires in the back!!! I have never driven into a ditch in my life. The only reason I put winter tires on, is because the gov made it law. AWD, who needs it, you, I guess. Have fun with your car.
That's had crossed my mind with supercharger/427. It really no loose for choosing the SR. Sure you won't have the widebody but if you strictly wanted performance, you can get it with mods.
A supercharge SR will run similar time as the Z06 and Eray in 1/4. And I would say it will pull away from the Eray beyond 1/4 mile or 130mph. It would be like the Z06 would in my guesstimate. SR is lighter over the Eray, even with the charger by 200lbs?
That would be a good race on between the 3 cars, like on Carwow/Matt Watson. 0-60, Eray is the king.

I agree E-Ray if I were to buy one - loaded not far of the price of a Z06 though. I will keeping my 2022 C8 HRT 3LT Z51 because I have spent a lot of money on modifying it - LOL: Pro Charger Stage 2 S.C.. lowering it, spacers to move wheels out 20 mm - in line with wheel wells etc. - 740 HP at the crank etc. etc. It looks awesome - and besides, I am an old guy!!

Then why are you driving a 740hp sport car? The more hp, the younger we feel? lol...

Where did you have the SC installed ? Why did you go with Pro Charger ? And cost if you don’t mind sharing. Thanks.
Disobey the rules of the road and there are consequences to be paid, right?I think some responses were removed.
Same thing applies here.

I agree, that is why the thumbs up.
Well advancing to today - June 15, 2025 it would seem by the reports I'm hearing that the Eray experiment has been a smashing success as the reports have future AWD options to be offered for the Z06 and ZR1 as well as a possible electrified Grand Sport edition, who says No ...? That tells me the future of Corvette is the "X" files

I’m debating whether to trade for a Z-06 or going with a SC . Can’t afford the ZR-1 not that it would be at all practical for me . Not a lot of difference in cost so have been leaning towards the flat plane crank . I may be loosing it but you only go once as far as we know. The Stingray is very capable and quick but I hate to say that I have been finding it a bit, shall we say , under powered. I now wait for the flack lol .
There are heads and cam packages surfacing now. You might also consider that. Best thing I ever did to my Camaro.

I think if I could add another 200-350hp on the LT2 would be the max I would do if funds available.
If you buy a Z06, you would the warranty up to 60K kms? The Widebody, brakes etc. But if would alot be cheaper to do the Supercharger/TT. There are plenty of parts for the LT2 and would be cheaper to service a LT2 in years ahead. Exhaust tone, I am very satisfied with the highflow cats and exhaust combo on the LT2. It gives it that aggression note you would expect from a mid engine performance car. When I do my Magnuson or TT, the headers will have to be replaced as well to take advantage of the setup.
Now that the ecm had been opened, I am 100% comfortable with either option done by a reputable shop such as LPE/Davenport or Boostdistrict in TX. Maybe Davenport can be there authorized dealer for Canada as well as LPE? lol..
Those Boostdistrict guys are killing it.
They are working on a new TT setup for the LT2 that hides the turbos within the engine bay ie. ZR1. If they can closely emulate their new setup to have a quick spool like the King, that is a big win. I have confidence in their work. Will see what's in the new release soon.
Now that I’m sober this morning I calculated the cost of what I was thinking about and have come to my senses , lol. Although your idea is probably doable. And some exhaust work perhaps.
