vette and camaro/Fiorebird personally. they are the only decent GM vehicles with a decent V8 engine and the indfamous rumble of the performance LS1/6/7 series engines.

No you cant it doesnt apply to the z06!

your that blind? its a super tuned LS7.

sh1t, my fault. somehow I only read the 7.0L part and skipped the LS7 before it.


so LS2 is the 5.7 on the previous C5 corvette, and LS6 is the 6.0 in the base C6 and GTO right?

i hope they have something to keep that power in check... or it's just another dodge viper.

:roll:

This thing is faster than a Viper.

Which year viper? Link?

Any year Viper.



Look at any page about the pre 2005 generation vipers and there 0-60 is about 4.1 seconds. Check out the 2005 dodge viper and dodge says "0-60 in approximately 4 seconds"

Sorry the 2006 z06 is faster! :D

true. vipers get only 4.3 due to a high CoD of .41 or something similar. they are nto aerodynamic cars even though they may look like it.
