Latest Car and Driver projects new possible horsepower numbers for the LS7. Engineers at GM were allowed to exploit their imagination and talents using all available resources of the Detroit powerhouse. Included is a heavily modified GTO possesing nothing other than the LS7, an engine surrounded by much speculation. Using a few bits and peices from the LS2 as well as the LS1 to finish off the base LS7, GM engineers were able to produce 575 raging ponies and 500 lbft. of tire roasting torque monsters. Watch out lil viper, there's a new heavyweight champ in the house.

I think thats the first time I've seen it confirmed that they used an LS7 block for the Ram Air VI GTO.

Are these speculatory numbers or fact?

The Woodward Dream Cruise GTO (Ram Air VI) was not exactly "street tuned". I would be surprised if the C6-Z06 was anywhere close to the power of the Woodward Dream GTO.

I don't think GM has the ***** to put that much power in any car. Unless it was a special edition SCCA racer C6 or like the CTS-V Plus.

Neither do I. I'll believe it when I see it.
