Default Am I seeing things?
I could have swore I saw a C6 Zo6 last wednesday going the oppostite direction in LongBeach CA, I saw some big fat tires on the back and a real low stock like but not so stock like powerfull rumble comming from the car, I lastly tried to see the ZO6 badging but the car passed me too far already and could not see, I turned around to go back to take a look but by that time it was gone. . Do people have these car's already? I would really like to see one of these up close.

That was bone stock. He got a set of headers on there, removed the airfilter, and put in Reline oil and dynoed at 492 rwhp and 470 rwtq.

Fadi is correct. You have to have the Redline oil ! Looks like it loosened up 10rwhp.

Is it possible to buy one of the new ZO6 motors from GM now? How hard would that be to drop in a 98-2002 Camaro or TransAm? Would every thing bolt right up?

Thanks,

Bill
