LS7/Z06 info from C&D http://www.digitalcorvettes.com/foru...threadid=28377
A few of the highlights not seen in other publications: 12* valve angle; forged slugs; six pot monoblock calipers with six indvidual pads.
And, my favorite line from the article: But with 385 lbs.-ft. of torque--the peak torque of the new BMW M5 V-10 at 6100 rpm--available at about 1600 revs, the LS7 should be plenty tractable.

Badass so now an enthusiast can buy a corvette.. spray massive shots or run forced induction up past supra levels on the stock car.. I can't wait til these things have been out a few years so I can get one.. hehe.
This does give insight on one important question though.. The heads are 12 degree.. which means probably not compatible with ls1.. Would it not? Without changing the piston, intake, etc.
Peace,
Josh

Anybody know if a LS7 crate motor will be avaliable?
