I appreciate all the tips I can get. I'm excited about taking it out to the track. I'm running ISS DES Exhaust and Takeda Intake, so a more HP over stock.

Stock SRT8 (the new 6.4 with 470 hp) does 12.4@115 stock and do 1.799 60' with street tires... I had a Dodge Charger Superbee for a few months LOL. Stock for stock, it'll beat an IS-F. The Challenger SRT8 is a touch faster than the charger so it's all a drivers race - but those cars are fully automatic transmissions so they are very consistent.

FWIW, I ran dead even with a ZL1 today from 65-125mph (I had to lay off b/c my exit was coming up). He pulled up next to me later at an intersection, and he was very complimentary of the car. Said he had never seen one run before and didn't know it was that fast. He said, "That's real nice, man!" I guess I didn't know either b/c I know what the ZL1 packs and I was expecting to get smoked. Made my day.

I can see an IS-F beating a stock C7 (NON-Z06/ZR1). A lot of my corvette buddies when they get the c6/c7's they rip out the Active fuel management because it robs the car of mid range power. When me and my buddy were building his vette, he easily saw better power band through out the RPM's and put down 440 to the wheels unlike the 420-something the stock one does with drive train loss. I mean he got ****ty MPG after that but the car felt more alive.

Other than that I cant see an IS-F beating a corvette on any other playing field because vettes have much better tuning options
