Boost + big engine = big power.

Re: 2009 Corvette ZR1
 

OMG!!! it is fucking amazing.
cars are getting faster and faster this is sick.

Re: 2009 Corvette ZR1
 

I like how they have the top of that blue one painted black like on a talon.

Simply beautiful.

Re: 2009 Corvette ZR1
 

That is simply hot.

i just soiled myself.

Re: 2009 Corvette ZR1
 

Oh Yeah!

Re: 2009 Corvette ZR1
 

"capable of producing at least 100 horsepower per liter. That's at least 620 horsepower, and approximately 595 lb.-ft. of torque." :loser:

I wish I could make 100hp per liter....
It looks great, BPU and it will realy be fast.

That's not just black, that is carbon fiber!

Re: 2009 Corvette ZR1
 

I'll wait a year when they're $45K at the auction. :smoking:

:score010:

Re: 2009 Corvette ZR1
 

Damn. Too much $ for my budget. If only....

Also, I thought Dodge was coming out with the "Diamondback Viper" or whatever and claiming ~650hp. Glad to see the competition of high HP coming back!

Mmmmm SC'd LS9.

Re: 2009 Corvette ZR1
 

A Roots type supercharger? are they retarded? (I know there not, but WTF?)

Re: 2009 Corvette ZR1
 

Its a 4 lobe not a traditional 2 lobe. I would have liked to have seen a lysholm twin screw but im sure the engineers had their reasons.

Re: 2009 Corvette ZR1
 

Sweet Jesus be praised! That thing is insane! Gotta love the 15.5" carbon ceramic rotors up front, and 15 inchers out back.

Re: 2009 Corvette ZR1
 

Twin turbo dat biach!!!

Re: 2009 Corvette ZR1
 

Honestly I'd love to see one of these things as the front car for a new CannonBall Run Video. Remeber the GT2 they had before doing 207mph. Would love to see this thing.

And steve willing to pass on that discount?

Re: 2009 Corvette ZR1
 

:love:

Re: 2009 Corvette ZR1
 

That is one of the nicest cars i have ever seen.

Re: 2009 Corvette ZR1
 

I'll just have to settle for my Z06....

:(

Re: 2009 Corvette ZR1
 

HA! Settle for a ZO6. I wish I had that problem... Haha

Re: 2009 Corvette ZR1
 

I knew someone would get a laugh out of that. :D

Honestly, there's no way I can use all the car I already have. I can't imagine having BETTER brakes than what's on my car. Insane. The only part of the ZR-1 that I'm jealous about is the lower first gear in the transmission. It will be much easier to launch that car than my Z06.

Blowers are cool, but there will always be that special place in my heart for the sound of my LS7 with 427 cubic inches singing at 7,200rpms...and it makes 620hp too....at the wheels. :)

Re: 2009 Corvette ZR1
 

Yeah, remember 620 hp is the minimum it will have, I keep hearing 700hp. The thing is going to be crazy! I bet they get close to 1000whp with just minimal mods. Too bad they aren't AWD, they aren't going to hook for crap. They need to bring the Sy/Ty's back with the LS3 in it.

Re: 2009 Corvette ZR1
 

Oh jeezus, check this out!

The LS9 has more torque at 2k rpm than the LS7 has for peak torque!

There is an error on the LS3 HP graph also, it should be shifted to the right.

Re: 2009 Corvette ZR1
 

HP and Tq cross at 5252, unless you are a LS3 then its ~4700rpm. 6800rpm, that is getting up there, I am not even at full boost yet.

Re: 2009 Corvette ZR1
 

Yeah, this was an internal document that got leaked out. The LS3 HP curve is shifted 500 rpm to the left of where it should be.
