As long as we're all still just guessing, I'll go out on a limb and say the Z28, if it ever does happen, will be track car with a 5.5 like is the Corvette.R used in the American LeMans Series.

The GT500KR is a GT500 thats been upgraded by Shelby, not a special production car off the Mustang assembly line. I put it in the same class as the cars you can get from Hennessey, Lingenfelter, SLP, and the others NOT what you can get from GM at a regular Chevy showroom.

I wonder if the heads from the ls9 will bolt up to the LSA? If so would this bring any kind of power increase or do you think that you would lose so reliability?
edit: and would you have to do anything to the cam or would the stock LSA cam hold up? |

It will hold up but what a lot of the guys with the cts-v were doing is swapping the LSA cam for an LS9 cam, which show some pretty good gains with virtually no effect of driveability

Likely the majority of forum members won't be racing enough to really tell the difference. The ZL1 will be so high tech performance designed that the only real place you might tell the difference would be in a highly technical timing event. But, not on the street IMHO.

First of all they are essentially the same engine. It's just. That they take the LS9 further up the ladder |

I like the sound of them selling the ZL1 for $1 ... doesn't make it any more likely to happen though

What kind of gains are they seeing just doing the ls9 cam swap? I mean is it really worth the money spent to do it?

hell, I'll buy one in each color, plus verts... probably easier to do a pulley swap for more gain

Booooosted.

I had this explained to me recently by Spike. It all depends on what you want. the worth of engine doesn't get 'better' just because the numbers and letters get higher.
