I do agree that the LS7 was designed as a N/A motor just like the LS3, but I have seen quite a few FI Z06 cars and a hell of a lot of supercharged camaros. I am comfortable with it since they are throwing a 3yr/36,000 mile warranty on it.
If you are driving this car on the track the way it was meant to be, the motor will likely need a freshen up before 50,000 miles and definately before 100,000. But I bet with most of them being stashed away as collector cars, many will never see that 36,000 mile mark anyway.
This will appeal to those who like to play at both types of tracks and also want a package car that maintains a little higher collectors value than a car that just had performance parts added down the road.
I can't wait to see what Lingenfelter comes up with for the Z/28  |
It adds the weight in the wrong place, up front and on top of the engine. The spring rate, shock valving and other things are all set up for the specific weight and center of gravity of the car. You dump extra weight in the car and it changes all those things.
