Default drove a ZR1 today

I've moved a few around before, but today I got to drive one. The power was crazy fun. Did about 3/4 throttle in 1st and it was a blast. So much fun I started laughing! The sound was even cooler!

The car sounded like Lil' Jon. The open exhaust + SC whine...

the car said: "wwwwwwhhhhAAAATTTTT!!!!!" I just about died laughing.



To anyone who doesn't know who Lil' Jon is, the car sounded like a DB9 and a Ferrari had sex, then that offspring had sex with a muscle car. It was awesome.

Sounds like you had a little fun.

What kind of numbers is your ride putting down? Looks like she makes a lot of torque with that 4.1 stroke !!!

521/473. But my cats blew out on the dyno and I had a mysterious electrical issue causing major voltage problems. So its only on a street tune right now. Electrical issue is fixed now. New cats go on today, new tune next week and the numbers should be stronger.

My torque curve is pretty much a flat line from 3k-6krpm. Makes about 90% of my torque from 2700.
