Hey Nifty,
That Twin Turbo link of yours made my mouth water...:spook
however, there are rather large differences in a TT setup that will give you 750 HP at 9.5 lbs of boost (For approx. $44K additional) vs a SC setup that will give you 560 HP at 5.5 lbs of boost (For $10K, including the new hood.) First, the number of parts to install, the necessary "building" of the motor, the return to Stock would be very unlikely if it ever became necessary, and then there is the cost...;30 you could buy another "companion" C6 with the money.
Compare the installation of this::grr
...with the installation of the Maggie...:spook
The driveability and longevity, as I see it, are there with the SC....no turbo lag, immediate grunt off the line, and about $35K left in your bank account...:22 Thanks for the great link, nifty.

Hey TRJ,
Don't get me wrong.. We know you wern't showing off or beating your own drum, and believe me when i say that we are all happy for you down here Thats a fact. :):{:)
When i said envious, its meant all in good faith, cause alot of us down under would love to own such a beautifull car, but only if it wern't so damn expensive with all those taxes, transfer fees and then conversion costs.
I'll just have to keep playing lotto alot more and keep my fingers crossed. ;27

Hi Gang,
Just read an interesting article on the finance page of Comcast News...GM has just extended their "powertrain" warranty on all 2007 model cars to 5 years/100,000 miles.
This includes 900 motor, transmission, and driveline components! Obviously, I was very happy to get that news...:22
