So from a pure performance standpoint, you are describing an L99 with a track pack. Am I interpretting your thoughts correctly?
And the Copo car..........are you saying a Supercharged 6.2L wouldn't work for you? Not that 7.0 wouldn't be better  . But just using linear progression (which is dangerous) a Supercharged 427 would result in darn near 700 HP is you started with the LS9 .
Do you view the Copo car as a drag car then and the Z28 as the track car? |
I understand what you are saying, my idea makes no real sense to do but would be cool to have back the same size engines as the first gen.
