Jay Leno's 600-hp LS7
 
Well...Jay Leno has now made 600 ponnies come out of the new LS7 in the Chevy 'Vette C6 Z06. Except he used a 1932 Deuce HotRod. :drive:. Along with a C6 Z06 suspension and the SSR's manual 6-spd tranny.

Here's the link to the article. Enjoy.

Personally I think what he has done is absolutely beautiful and monsterous. I love his HotRod.

Shows that the LS7 still has globs of power hidden inside of it. The LS7 is becoming one of the greatest engines ever and was just recently introduced.

Very cool thanks for sharing.

F_Body Fan Nov 3, 2005 08:54 PM

Heck yea, imagine if someone produced anymore power out of it? That'd be a serious monster engine with more than 600-hp.

I love that car of his, looks beautiful.

If there's anything bad about this, it's the fact that somewhere sits a C6 Z06, WITH NO SOUL!!! *cries*

That's the only thing I noticed that didn't look kosher. That's a terrible place to grab the inlet air, right behind the radiator. It seems they could have gotten some colder inlet air!

yea no way they ripped that out of a c6 z06 as you can order an ls7 crate engine from GM, but like someone already said he doesnt pay for anything im sure, its just given to him since its going into such an outrageous project car like he always does. Seriously though, what does he do with all those cars? I know he drives them all, but it seems he never has enough haha. I guess id be the same way though if I had millions of dollars to spend on cars!

Doesn't Jay have more cars than most people have underwear? I mean come on Jay...........You got to love his enthusiasm for cars and his appreciation for them, but damn.... :jest: I guess I'm just jelous!! :devil:

10thAnivHawk Nov 5, 2005 01:11 PM

I'd give my left nut for an ls7...

Xtremespeed Nov 6, 2005 02:19 AM

I'd like to see Leno actually work on some of his own projects. People give him parts and build his cars for him. He has so many cars, he doesn't even drive them. They're just "look what I have" cars. What a waste. Jealous I guess!

LvDemKings Nov 6, 2005 02:38 AM

Wow, that's beautiful. :hail:

HartAttack Nov 6, 2005 03:18 AM

That is awesome..imagine driving that sucker...that thing must PULL!
