I know, I had a 420hp version which I modified over time. Suspension mods were first, than brakes, then more power. I ended up around 405 to the wheels, and with a solid suspension setup and wheel/tire upgrades I was giving Corvettes a run for their money in the corners during HPDE weekends. They would still pull on the straights though. I would say tuned GT and good amount of driver mod was the best bang for the buck at an average HPDE event.
Case and point here, against a 650HP/650TQ ZL1 1LE with a not so driver moded person behind the wheel. On the straights no contest, rest of the track, game on!
