this is how i look at it.....
you can buy a used 240 drop in a SR put another 10 grand into it and then and your still not even why......simple....because a vet cost 40 thousand.....so when you think about it you can have a bad *** 240 that will whoop the **** out of a vet and still not have spent the money you did to get a stock vet.......
but hey thats my opinion......

i hate to go all v8 on you, but what the domestic guys say is true- there is no replacement for displacement
the LS8, untouched, is pushin 405 hp and running 12s. a 240 that runs 12s would be hard to build, and the motor would be stressed. any 1/4 time under that would probly require it to be a track only car. so yeah a 240 that could beat a stock z06 would be cool, a modded z06 would own any 240.
