So I was at NFZ in AZ this weekend doing half mile racing. Car was flawless and ran 145mph all day without hiccup (FBO no inlets E40).

There were a bunch of other higher power N54s there but from what I saw most had issues, and the newer M cars were in the low 150's. I even managed to drag what looked like a stock GTR after about 60mph (he had me about 5 car lengths from a dig) which pretty much made my day.
Anyways, there were TONS of Corvettes at the event. From what I saw most were running 150ish and up pretty consistently, but sounded and looked like they were all doing 180+. The sound from a cammed 7.0 and the clean lines definitely turned my eye. I have been preparing for upgraded turbos for a 650ish HP goal, but after Saturday I'm thinking that jumping platforms might be a much better option.
Thoughts? I think I could put up with the mid-90s looking interior for the added performance and rawness of a big V8. Anyone go from BMW to Chevy? This should be a no brainier right?
