Magnuson and Magnacharger are the same company. They sell them for $7450.00 but you can purchase them from us for only $6450.00.

Asking for 2k less is asking for a bit much. The price is not unreasonable for a complete supercharger system like that.

I will continue to chronicle my build up over at http://www.phantomss.com leading up to SEMA and going beyond. I will also drop notes here as well, but to remain notified about things, just subscribe to my project blog over there so you get solid updates.
This should be fun!

As for the Z06, you are correct about it being easier. I just didn't mention it since the GT500 is over $20,000 cheaper. Not to say it isn't worth it either. I think it is. However, when it comes to drag racing a GT500 is a serious competitor. I think a Magna Charger Camaro SS will also be a great competitor because of the relatively cheap starting price. That is if the rearend proves up to the task. We will see.

You can certainly run high 10's more cheaply in a GT500. I would also argue that the rearend of the Corvette is much closer to the limits at that point than the GT500, which is the argument for safely and repeatedly.

If you are after massive power and pure straightline acceleration, then you really have to get the GT500. Like any other car, they have their downfalls, but when it comes to power and acceleration they are hard to beat. Sure, the Vette matches them from the factory, but those GT500's will take one HELL of a beating and keep on ticking. I have never seen another car that can run high 10's to low 11's so easily, repeatedly, safely, and cheaply.
The Camaro is a completely different animal. More refined I would say. It just doesn't feel the same. I have no doubt a 500rwhp Maggie Camaro would be a Dr. Jeckel and Mr. Hide type of ride! Would definitely be awesome, just in a different way.

In the end you want the best tool for the job. Ford builds a real good car these days.

what about the regular vette with a z51 package? i know it beat the 09 gt500 in 1/4 mile i dont know about the '10, but adding slick to that should get you damn close to low 11's and right around the same $ as the gt500. even a base model vette should give it a good run. and at under 50k thats not bad.
