Re: How do you feel about the new ZR1?

I beleave a test done on a z06 supercharger kit stated its traction and performance with the stock tires as "being laughable". Yes, it made about the same hp as the ZR1 and more torque at the peak, but, most of us know that isn't the average and not relative. This system was also at 6lbs of boost, not enough to lift the heads off, and blow the head gaskets. Using cast pistons on a boosted car may work, but, isn't reliable. Anyways, there are 250k vettes out there that will walk all over an Enzo. Being that the C6 Z06 could at least beat a turbo Porshe and a F430's track times in Motortrend in 2006 I wanted to see how a supercharged could do. And I have to give GM credit for really going for it, practically speaking. The car is state of the art. Ferarri is using GM's shock technology, and the things forged, piston toooo! Call it american pride, but, I would love to see this car kick ass over there!
