We love the new C7 Z06, but GM should have used the ZR1 blower on the new Z06 instead of going with a smaller 1.7L, atleast in our opinion. The new Z may be a track animal, but it’s been taking a beating lately on freeways runs, well, atleast on the internet.
To be honest, we were a little concerned when we saw 126-128mph traps for the C7Z from the magazines, but didn’t think much of it considering the car’s true purpose (road course) and it being supercharged (easy to mod).
But these results worry us. Not only will a bolt on C6Z run right with a stock C7Z, but a darn near full bolt-on, 661whp C7Z is getting pulled by a intake/exhaust 607whp Viper. There’s something wrong with these C7Zs, Gen V Vipers are not 500lbs lighter than C7Zs.
We never seriously considered the C7Z anyways, but at this rate it seems we’d be better off doing a H/C package on the C6Z and walking all C7Zs short of ones running a ported blower, ethanol or water/meth.
To rub salt in the wound, it turns out the Viper actually had a 220 lb passenger in the car. Ouch.
