QUOTE (roy @ Dec 21 2007, 11:12 PM)  Alittle read that was posted on our webboard from one of the GM engineers that frequent there. zr1 motor My favorite 2 lines from that article - "smooth driveability at low speeds" & "320 lb.-ft. of torque at only 1,000 rpm". You do realize that this thing has as much power at normal "let-the-clutch-out-revs" as the average, stock LS1 does at redline? How is this car going to take off smoothly at redlights. I can see it now - "But, Officer, my foot wasn't even on the gas. It's the idle, I promise!" |

If you aren't flooring it, there won't be so much power trying to make its way to the rear wheels. |
