LS1Z2800

Is it now safe to say that the current production C6 ZO6 is the fastest, baddest vehicle to leave a GM assembly line? Is it even more powerful, and faster than the fabled 426 hemis, 428 Cobra Jets, 454 Chevelles of the '60s and early '70s?

Yes, until the ZR1 hits the streets.

How does the new Viper contend?

He didnt say anything about DODGE, only GM

The 600hp Viper I believe is .1 faster, based on magazine tests. As for being the fastest, yes of course. It's the highest HP GM ever to be built from the factory.

**** that!! corvette ZR1 is look it up so far jay lenno (of cource im mean who else) has one, it has a factory super charged LS9 yup you read it right LS9 (nine) now if thats not bad *** enough it comes super charged.... GM has been talking about it competeing with the Ferarri enzo!!

that a BAD *** corvette... bye bye viper hahahaha

best way i can describe its speed is now you see me now you don't

oh and i forgot to mention the engine comes de-tuned by the factory by about 75 hp but other people say its de-tuned by about 120 hp
either way its alot!!

I'm sure the C6Z is much faster than the old muscle cars you mentioned even if you consider it was more difficult for them to put the power to the ground. Now as for the Viper I know it's only .1 quicker in the 1/4 but up top it pulls away from the Z pretty bad. I can't wait for the ZR1 to come out and smack the SH_T out of the Viper and Ford GT.

Pretty Sure the ZL1 Camaro is the fastest GM i have ever heard of... Feel free to correct me

I can't wait to see the ZR1 on the street. Whats this rumor being tossed around about being detuned at the factory ?? That would really suck to pay for a 630 bhp car and get a 510 bhp car. Detuned by 120 would blow. If it is true they just turned it into an overpriced Zo6, that now makes 5 more horsepower and weighs a couple hundred more pounds. I really hope they don't detune the car.

I believe by detuned, they mean there is another 75-120 more hp to be gained upon top of the 630hp. that's saying the engine is under rated kinda like ls1s.

Now that would be cool. So the factory tune is what's holding it back ?? Get that thing to a tuner as soon as software is available !!! Didn't the mustang gt 500 gain a ton of power after being tuned and given a less restrictve air filter. Can't wait to see what the Zr1 will do with a tune.

The ZR1 should be the new king, but this may be its queen:

That is not a production car. Now if you want to go back to the 60's when the 1st ZL1 were made and they were production cars I have heard that they were running 10's with just tuning them a lil better and a set of headers. This is only on the drag strip. If you get into the twisties we all know what is going to happen with a new z06 vs. a 60's model zl1

Here we go again. I think the OP is talking "production" cars here. Something that came straight off the assembly line. Not something that has been totally rengineered.
