I think the S197 is an awesome car, just not all that fast without throwing your wallet at it. Just for arguments sake, taking an '89 notch and throwing everything external bolt-on wise and doing the same for an S197 GT (no internals messed with, or blowers) the result in the 1/4 would astonish considering it's been almost 20 f#$king years. I'm just saying is all. Better isn't the right word, the fox is a dinosaur, I think that's been well established. It just happens to be a fast one...

Englishtown has a pretty good rep and I hear Fridays are not that packed (as compared to weekends and Wednesdays when it's open to unmuffled vehicles).
Rog - I own a bike, remember? So yes to the helmet. 
I'm gonna stray a bit here only 'cause I remember you saying you like the a$$ in your current avatar. Please tell me it's not your wife...on your bike...with a C6Z06...and a tweaked STi...and kids...and a nice house...if it is you are my American hero If it is your wife...I don't care, I wanna wear that ass as a mask...for several hours...

Well, it can be jarring for some Mustang guys the first time they come in this section. But if you take a bit of time to read up you learn that Mr Rogers (guy with black Z06 Vette) owns a New Edge GT also, Bicketybam (guy with yellow Z06 Vette) used to own a supercharged New Edge GT, and C6Vette (dunno if he posted in this thread offhand) also owns a GT. So these aren't "Chevy" guys in the typical sense of the word.
Just a family argument! I think you will find for the most part people over here respect each other.
Doesnt stop us from giving each other hell! Certainly doesnt stop the occasional "disagreement.
Car guys are car guys! I have a fair number of Chevy driving friends and we are always wrenching on each others junk.
With the usual good natured kidding about we hope nobody we know sees us under the hood of <insert brand name>.
A 12.9 with your mods (and heft) is mindbending to me. Congratulations, your S197 GT is certainly one I would not be able to, in my words "take down". I can't be any better than a sound 13.3-13.5 on slicks with my settup. But believe me my friend, I have had my way with S197 GT's and bolt on notches seem to be respected or deemed 5-slow. You seem to have an open mind and for that you've garnered my respect. To illustrate I know how to truthfully show my ass, I've just recently been reeled in by a nicely built N/A Integra GSR. It pissed me off something fierce ...

Not my wife - just a friend of mine. She sent me the picture and I said it would make a great avatar if she didn't mind. She said no problem.
There aren't enough drugs in the world to get my wife on the back of a bike. In fact, she goes pale everytime I mash the gas in the Z.

She drives the Teal Vette that I posted a picture of in the Englishtown Corvette thread. She races a lot. So sure!

Another post hijacked by knuckleheads! LOL
Chill out! Life is too hard as it is, why make it harder by arguing! If you two want to flame each other why not start your own threads for this!

I'm still on page 6 or whatever but I don't recall anyone mentioning the word "better" while comparing these cars. I'm sure I'll get reviewed.

Or we could use the good old stock Vs. Stock Arguement. If your willing to break the bank, My skittle , a Fox , a S197 will all need a parashute at the track. There comes a point when it's just I spent more money than you to be faster when your talking modded cars. I was refering to handling, Interior etc. when I said it was a better car. And sorry but better is still the right word. It's just like comparing a 67 Mustang To an 08 mustang technology has just got better over time.
