Even if I spent more to make more power (forged internals, bigger blower, E85..etc) It wouldn't be able to match that power gap.
now back to topic, "handling", there is a structural differences between two cars and unlike matching "power/weight" ratio it is not easy to make up for that difference by adding stickier tires, bushings/ sways/braces/, aero,
in the hands of a professional driver after the above mods a twin might be able to match a stock 1LE but of course it's not apples to apples at that point |
If you spent more than 20K to modify a twin with the stats you stated, then you didn't do the work yourself and or got ripped off royally.
I never said that your average person wouldn't be better off buying an ss 1le if they want performance per dollar.

p.s. If you did spend more on making that 270 whp twin than a stock ss 1le than you were good to just buy a camaro then.
