Mine is a big 'Vette, because it's red, with 2 doors and 2 seats.

I was just thinking about this the other day. Moregrip has a point though. Alot of us talk about it, but few have have actually put it down. I think that is going to change drastically this year. STS and other turbo systems are all over the place now. A 6.0, cam, decent sized turbo, intercooler and some meth and you are 600+at the wheels. I would like to see 700 at the wheels, but Im not sure if I'll make it. I would be even happier with an 11.99, but think I'll probably be able to hit 700 on a dyno with perfect conditions before running a time like that in the tank.

Hitting 700rwhp within the next few months would be killer for me. I think 600rwhp will be pretty easy. Mine is my TRUE daily driver as well, not could be my daily driver. I commute 70 miles round trip to work. Like you said, things will be interesting this year. A year and a half ago my future combo would have been the baddest truck in the country probably. Now it will just be.....ehhh, it's been done. But it will me more than enough for me. I will probably be the first one to do it with a manual trans. For those of us who like to DRIVE their trucks will appreciate it at least. Don't think i'm getting the cart before the horse her, I just saying what I hope happens
There are so many turbo and big blower projects on here going on as we speak that there is no telling what that dyno list will look like by xmas
