A Gen-1 CTS-V weighs about the same as a Gen-5 Camaro. But comparing an LS6 to an LS7 is like comparing an LS7 to an LS9...100 hp and an equal amount of TORQUE...

I have experience with an LPE-prepped C5 TT LS6...which eventually was replaced with an LPE-prepped LS7. The LS7 with 540 rwhp turned better times in all disciplines than the 597 rwhp TT LS6...something called "heat-soak" took over the TT, and that 150 lb. on the nose was very discernible...

Sound familiar?
