Jedi will be going the speed limit at IDLE! Holy smokes!

Curious what it is about NA vs. blowers, what don't you like about blown motors?

And the feeling got more intense the whole way home. I hope your ZL1's fire you up every time you drive them like my car does. Enjoy!

You're allowed Perma Grin.

This is how folks should feel about their cars regardless of who builds it!

It's not that I don't like Blown motors, and in fact unlike many, I quite like the Blower whine, it's just in terms of power delivery and my own personal bias, I really like a high revving naturally aspirated motor. I think that's probably why I never picked up a GT500.

does ZL1 have a power steering pump ?

Yes but it's electric. Traditional power steering uses a pully on the engine that powers the power steering pump.

from what I understood, it's a motor with gearing to assist. no pump.

Maybe what they are doing is throwing that awsome touch screen radio in all the cars. WINMODE!

If they bumped the power, they would throw out a big chunk of the validation they did with the car at 580 HP. No doubt that they would be throwing millions of dollars of NRE cost out the window and would have to invest in the validation of a 650 HP ZL1. That doesn't sound like a good business idea. They would have to get a return on investment with that extra NRE cost. Do they really think they'd sell that much more of them to get that return? I highly doubt it.
