Yawn, more manufacturers times. I was hoping you had real world tests from somebody other than GM. Good ET and mph but no a scoop in my opinion.

With headflow numbers like what have been posted, with headers/cam/slicks that thing will probably do deep 10's at mid 130's.. lol. That is insane. Just imagine a cam + 100 shot trapping like 140mph.. and I spent all this money doing a non-handling f-body drag car.. and a z06 slicks and a 150 shot rocks my world.

Peace,
Josh

Even with meaty outsides, you have to believe we are getting close to the limit with regards to how much power you can put to the street with DOT approved rubber.

There are a **** load of LS1's out there that run quicker than the 11.7 posted that the C6 Z06 ran.With the price of the new C6 you wont see too many at the track or modfied.Bottom line is mods rule.Worked over LS1's will always win over stock at the track.I plan on building up a LS7 next year,but as I said,there are a **** load of LS1's out there that will spank a new LS7 and have a lot of money left over.For 70 grand I would want a car that can't be touched.I know almost everyone on this site could build a car themselves either F-body,Vette,GTO,STS, to go quicker than 11.7 and have money left over from that 70 grand including the price of the car your gonna hook up.

Yes, but.....the LS7 has more potential right out of the box. Nothing would touch it down a stretch of curvy road. IMO looks better than an f-body,c5,gto, and sts.

He does have a point, why buy any performance vehicle more then 40,000. Anything more then that better have 850 horsepower and run on pump gas. Naturally Aspirated. If you are gonna buy a Z06 it should have at least that, and to make the Viper worth it- psshh, that thing better have 1,000 at least. Even better would be to buy a Ford Focus, convert it to RWD, put a 5.0 DOHC or Cobra motor in there and gut it, upgrade the suspension, and run 9s in the quarter and be lighter and do better in a road course. I don't know about you guys, but I sure as hell would rather have a 650 horsepower Focus for $60,000 then some overpriced peice of junk like the ZO6.

I do not know about that the Z06 is a different animal, It is a vehicle that has a warranty, passes emissions, run like a bitch, is comfortable, and handles great. To buy a civilized legit 11 second car with all that off of the showroom floor is unbelivable. Imagine that 10 years ago people would of said you were nuts. And you got to remember the potential that is present with this car, this is a starting point, and a great place to start before modding. And you can not forget the trickle down affect to other gm products with this powertrain and the benifit to all lsx powered vehicles when heads, blocks, ect become available. So all I have to say is piece of jumk my ***, I see this car as a great thing for the future of gm performance.

70 grand for some people aren't nothing to pay for a car. Second, most people have more street races than 1/4 races. This car is going to be a force to be recon with on the streets. Yeah, they have plenty of f-bodies and vettes running faster than 11.7, but how many trap 127 with no mods on them? When guys buy these new z06's and install a cam and headers and some MT/ Radials you will be looking at a car that will have almost a 9 second mph, which is truely deadly on the street and 3100 pounds. Maybe God will bless me by the end of the year and I'll be able to buy one.

we have just shy of 100 members at ls7power, just alot of them aren't posting. you could always join and help us change that around. Also the site is only 3 months old or so, I'm actually impressed with the number of hits and number of members for only 3 months.

I'd rather have a slower classier car than a faster ricer.
Z06 > 650 hp Focus

I guess you have some rich friends if 70 grand is nothing to pay for a car.For me ,thats way to much to pay for a car that can be ,and will be beat by a car thats way less than half the price.I'm all for best bang for the buck.A used C5 with a built LS7 will beat a new LS7 and have a lot of money left over.My F-body will beat a C6 Z06 now as is and will destroy one when my LS7 project if finished next year.Don't get me wrong I like the new C6,but I think for that much you should be getting a car that will run a 11.0 for that price.

I don't want you to take this the wrong way, but with any kind of a driver behind the C6 Z06 your 11.5 would stand no chance. That 11.7 pass was on street tires and most likely with someone that doesn't exactly "row" through the gears. That car with the weight it's at currently and the horsepower it makes is going to be capable of 10's with a set of slicks.

It might ,I'll agree.But come next year when my LS7 build up is complete and putting down between 550-600RWHP it will be a different story.I can't afford one so I will build my car up to spank a stock one and still be able to make my mortgage payment.20grand for 100 hp over a stock LS2 is a lot of money.You could buy a new C6 and add a magnacharger to it and make more power and have money left over.
