My thought is keep the boys at Wixom hand building stuff if there is a demand.
Ask a true driver what he'd rather take around Laguna Seca for long periods of time.........Z06 or an LS9 "brute"
Camaro has to go on a diet and get some handles to have any more horsepower than it already does anyway. But I am a big LS7 fan. I am buying a couple to put away

I'm not a driver, like you're posting about here, but, it seemed to me I've read more reviews the ZR1 was easier to drive because of the suspension. The power was more difficult to modulate, but it sounded like the shocks/spring/bar set-up was better than the Z06. I know that I've read that it placed lower than a GT500 and CTS-V as a driver's car, so I see your point
What the Hell are they doing for Z06 anyways, without LS7?!

Yup - I've read LSA is built by our friends to the South

So, I read up a lot on the LSA...if it gets put into the Z28 as-is...we're in for a treat. It's MUCH more than a simple factory-supercharged LS3 like some think of it. For instance, does 270 consecutive hours of wide-open-throttle testing without failure mean anything to you? 
Tomorrow, I'll try and pop up the entire 8-page writeup.  |
I was trying to find a bunch of exploded pics' of that hog yesterday but couldn't find them on the 'net anywhere. I tried to download them from my work computer to my home computer to load onto the Sticky, but I couldn't get it to transfer
I gave up around 02:00 this morning, lol. If you don't post them up from your source(s) I'll add them
And you're friggin' right!!! That's a bad@$$ motor!!! I'm a little worried about the PM rods, but they're from a forging process, and I'm sure they're plenty fine and since those hypereutectic pistons are oil-cooled, I'm sure they'd be better than the standard LS3 pieces.

OMG!!! The 500's touch-screen is so much cooler!!! Would I pay more, personally for it? It depends on how much the car is, and how much more the screen would add. It's certainly low on the priorty list, but really nice in the Mustang. DO IT GM!!!
