1k or 2k you say sounds to good to be true

LS7 2006 Corvette Z06
MSRP
$17,495.00

17802397
LS7 7.0L
without ECU and Wire Harness

What's Hot?
CNC-ported heads
Titanium guts
Badness in a box

Seven liters of pure trouble maker!
The king of all Corvettes is the amazing 2008 Z06. It tops out at 198 mph, runs the quarter mile in 11.5 seconds at 127 mph, and hits 60 mph in a jaw-dropping 3.5 seconds (in first gear). All of that performance is the result of superior GM
engineering and an engine we call the LS7 the most technologically-advanced production GM small-block ever built.
A natural continuation of the LS Family, the LS7 uses a 7.0L aluminum 6-bolt main block, CNC-ported cylinder heads, and titanium rods and valves to pump out 505 hp and 470 lb.-ft. of torque. Talk about efficient the LS7 helps the 2008 Z06 get over 28 mpg while still being the fastest Corvette ever produced!

Is this the Chevy small-block in its highest form? Only you can decide, and GM Performance Parts has made it that much easier by offering the already legendary LS7 as a complete crate engine, ready to bolt into your favorite project car.

I mean, if anything, the ZR1 isn't expensive cause of the motor, that is surprisingly inexpensive except for the added internals to compensate for the Eaton twin screw.

I would rather go PRO Charger over those two. Thats just me.

headpunter · 09-30-2008, 09:25 AM

there just arent enough letters to go around.
you'd have to start using alph-numeric instructions. and then before you know it you will end up like TAG: "whats this piece? wheres it go? lol.
it would be a lot of fun tho. that is one badass motor!

headpunter · 10-02-2008, 12:56 AM
