If I remember correctly there was a MM/FF artical about someone installing N2O on their auto 99 GT. It had gears, full exhaust, throttle body and mass-air, and cold air induction. I think that's it. With a 100 hp shot, it ran a 12.71

I agree 100%. I bought my 99 GT new in 98 for 23K. I added about 5K in mods(gears, exhaust, converter & V2 S-trim @ 12 psi) and never lost to a vette in the street. Now it's just plain ugly. When my built shortblock goes in shortly, I will have still spent much less than a Vette and will have a mid/low 10 sec. daily driver that is built from end to end with potential to easily go 9s. Take a new GT, put in a blower and you will have spent around 25-26K in total and you will be able to beat STOCK ls1s. Add a built shortblock, fuel system and you will still have spent much less and turn the boost up. The last vette I raced I beat by over 10 cars by 110 mph. I doubt he was wondering how much I spent but was wondering how did he just get his *** beat so badly.
