LS7 Twin Turbo? http://www.cfive-corvette.com/z06.htm

 

jay leno engine. sorry. its for real but not for poor folks like us.

 

I think it would just fit in my car - not sure about going round corners though.....

 

you could just duct tape it to the hood, or like put it in a sidecar harhar

 

Didn't he race a tank with the car that has that engine?

 

It must be nice to afford $50,000+ engines like that.

 

The LS7 isn't even in production yet. So how in the hell can Jay Leno have one in his car already??

I don't care if you're the Sultan of Brunei, GM will not let that engine get into anyone's hands until it's in full production.

It's most likely an LS1/6 with an LS2 intake and TB.

It does look sweet though.

 

Look closely. That is not an LS2 intake. It is indeed an LS7 with the C5R derived cylinder heads. Jay has tnough clout to get what he wants.

jay leno put the 572 in a buick special that ran 11's i believe???? But if thats the next z06 i wish i had enough money to buy it.

 

no, he raced a tank in his hotrod that also has a tank engine, twin turbo v-12 diesel, over 1000lb-ft or torque, redline under 4k rpms.

 

Talk about a way to spend money.

 

He may have clout but not enough to get that motor, even the top exec's at GM wouldn't have an LS7 in one of their cars.

I don't know where people get their info these days.

 

That is a LS7 intake and from what has been said there are only two different sets of heads it fits. The LS7 heads of course and the C5R heads.

Which ones are on that engine...then again does it really matter cause they're both badass heads.

 

It may not be a production LS7, but it's definitely NOT an LS2. That is not an LS2 intake, nor are those LS2/LS6 heads. I saw that car in person at the SEMA show and the heads had the same casting number as the orange GTO concept car. That casting number, 8452, is also the same one that is used on the Cadillac CTSV race car.

I get my information first hand.

Dude, the LS7 is not some brand new revolutionary motor. The components that will be used on the LS7 have been in the GM toybox for some time now. The block and intake manifold are widely used in GM racing efforts (C5-R and CTSv). The engine in the picture may not be an exact LS7 but it is using LS7 parts (block, intake manifold...)

 

Well I guess I have to eat my words. I watched Rides tonight and got to see the LS7 come out of the crate. That car is badass!

 

Sorry I missed the show. That car is the ultimate cruiser in my book.

Andrew

 

yea on rides they said it was a 425ci "concept" motor from GM. no one can get one, but they may have them avalible in the future. so, i would say they are using his car for a test mule in a sense and to stir up rumors about the new engine. either way, 1,000hp isnt too shabby. now slap a turbo kit on the new Z06 with that setup and watch out!

 

Jay Leno is very Tight with the Top GM guys - pic's of him with them. He can get anything he want - all good publicity for GM - read this! http://smallblock.gmblogs.com/archiv...***/index.html the whole car built around a new C5 with an early LS7 Twin Turbo.

 

A lot of top Gm execs would never get approval to take there personal car out on the test track either.

Leno has definitely got some pull.
