Wow those LT1's are putting the LS7 to shame and they start out 45 hp less.

Not sure what the button was that he hit after shifting to 5 but it let her run..... Maybe a bypass for some limiter? No way was that spray because it would have melted if it was on the gun that long

I dont think he used it as much as they are letting on.... with the amount of power it has it should have no problem doing 200mph on its own unless the CO is just retarded high from all the crazy vents and such and maybe it provides itself with lots of downforce...possible...but with GM unlikely thatd itd be thay significant.
As far as i know its a real Z06
C6s Z06s with boltons have done 200mph before... a friend proved that on a highway local to my apartment in TN....

I don't think it's a Z06. there's still speculation as to what engine will even come in the Z so I can't possibly see how they could already be driving one

Hahaha holy shit that's a long time to be on spray. It generates SO much heat in the piston I'm surprised it didn't melt LOL

z06 info will be unveiled at the Detroit auto show next month. Rumor is its getting a supercharged version of the new LT1, called, wait for it, the LT4 and will make 600-650 hp.
