Holy shit it's sick! it's basically a ZO6 with the z07 package in a Camaro body. This will be faster than a GTR on a road course.

Like the color package too. But what about weight with all the trim?

They dropped 300lbs over the zl1. Which means it's ~150lbs lighter than a 1LE. A/C and stereo are optional deletes. This is what I always wanted them to do with the vette.

I love it. I'm hearing a lot of people ask why use such a "big motor" when you can get the same power out of a much "smaller" 3L but off the top of my head I can think of any other motor that makes over 500 hp with a weight under 440 pounds

The ZO6, dry sump and all, really is a strongly endurance race oriented motor by design.

Big V8s and Turbo 3Ls are different animals, not to mention the V8 has more room to make more power. Put 21lbs of boost on a V8 and see what happens.

That's a lot of boost for a V8.

nah... The ls7 is pretty high compression though for much boost. I'm not saying to go out and lower the compression though. I would toss a nasty cam, heads, headers, intake, tune it and get like 550 to the wheels. That would be awesome.

Thats because equivalent boost would be thrice the volume of air on a big V8. Id go with an LS3 Corvette and Procharge it, steady 91 octane 850 streetable hp all day long.

Im leaving it at that, if anyone in here is about to make the argument that V8s shouldnt be boosted, or that smaller engines are better for some retarded ricer logic, see my avatar and suck a dick.

no replacement for displacement
