Well I finally got my plans finallized for my 442. My main goal is to be able to beat a stock C6 Corvette in almost every way and still come to half its price. I want to beat it in the 1/4 mile, and I want to pull more Gs on the skid pad, out salom it, and out brake while still costing half the price and on street tires. If I can get close to the same gas milage I will be happy. I will drive this car daily and it will be plenty streetable. I will probably get the motor done first and next will be either handling or braking. Here's my plans for project "C6 Killa". Let me tell you now, I will do this in complete street atire meaing street tires, no slicks, full exhaust, nothing special except No2, only if I have to use it though, and I my budget will be half the price of a brand new C6 (that will include car price and all parts that are on the vehicle, no point on adding on money if I'm not using a certain part)

Drive Train - I'm sticking with 350 olds rocket because its lighter than a big block and it has a great bore to stroke ratio. I want to be able to pull low 13s and I will use a little No2 to break into the 12s, I figured this would be best for still getting good gas milage and being streetable. For the tranny I'm going either with a built TH200r4 or a T-56 6 speed manual tranny. If I go with the auto OD I will keep 3.73s or go to 3.91s and if I get the T-56 I will go to 4.11s or 4.56s

Handling - I plan to do a B-body spindle coversion because it changes the geometery of the suspension for less body roll and better turning. I will go with good performance shocks, maybe adjustable ones. Nice stiff springs and beefy sway bars. I will brace the body up some too to get rid of the sway motion A/G bodies are known for. I'll probably go with 16 or 17 inch wheel

Brakes - I'm going to switch to all wheel disc brakes, not sure what brand but their going to be big and vented. I heard good stuff about the Baer track brakes, at first I'm going with a cheap swap and use 12" 1LE Camaro front discs and late 70s trans am rear discs mated to 80ish Seville calipers with a good brake balancer valve, I heard this works pretty good.

I will update my plans to what the newer C6s can do, and this will take me at least 2 years (I aiming at 3 or 4 years). After I beat the C6 I'm aiming higher to like a "McLauren Killa" or "Lambo Killa" or something along those lines. I know I'm just dreaming but I think I can do this, hopefully I will get picked picked up by a police department this spring/summer, that will help my budget alot.

as an employee or a prisoner?

seriously though, that car sounds pretty slick, alot of time and money will need to go into that one but I guess if you plan to spread it out over 3 or 4 years it shouldn't be too bad.

I'm trying to think realistic, I'm also estimating about $20,000 in parts and labor will be involved too which will keep me under the budget
