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.

All these car manufactures are making it too easy to have high HP. I kinda like having to be that you have a little Knowlege to have high HP(More of a challange). Then again high HP is relative.

7000 RPM?!?!
What kinda stroke/internals does that sucker have for it spin that high if that is indeed a factory motor?

Titanium Connecting rods have been mentioned as being in the C6-Z06 package so that might have been used for this project to get to the high RPM's, haven't read the article though
I'm sure the connecting rods were a pretty penny if they are titanium. If we were in Russia, getting titanium would be a lot cheaper.
