I know V8's may be taboo...
Anybody see the new C6 vette Z06? 500 Hp @6200, 475 TQ @ 4800 and it only weighs 3100 pounds...exotic performace at a projected $60k. I don't usually like american cars but whenever one beats up on a Ferrari it brings a smile to my face
|
Yeah, its going to be BAD. Dry sump oiling, 120+ mph in the quarter mile!
|
It'll be a very awesome car, saw it a few days ago at the auto show. Though, for $60k, they could've made the interior a bit nicer, but eh, doesn't matter when you're driving that fast. :D

Z06 isn't about a nice interior. If anything, they stripped stuff out to cut weight like they have in the past. And since when are V8s taboo? GM's small block V8s have always been pretty decent mills. And stuff like the LS7 are very well designed. |
i like the new headlights too, the flip ups went out of style long ago.
|
its also detuned from the factory to 500 hp so a few bolt ons and youll be sitting pretty...

I think they should contract Yamaha to build another head for them like on the ZR-1. DOHC 32V MONSTER.
Edit: I thought Yamaha helped them build it, but I just read it was Lotus and Mercury Marine. Anyone know for sure? |
the LS7 is a 427ci that is no small block

Although bearing a similar resemblance to another 500hp machine....
