Heck, the salesman today asked me if I owned a Vette and I listed three vet based, two Vettes and he focused on the 91 Z right away asking about hp and speed. I mentioned that my lightly tuned 91 had the same or better specs than the 2014 c7 and he nodded, asked me shift points and times and nodded again conceding. Now,l wonder what can you do to the new C7 Lt1 to pump it up? Turbo, supercharger, start messing with exhaust, rechip it for timing (might be complex with all that direct injection, half the cylinders off stuff), port and relieve it some more? Unknown but someone will take a 6.2 liter up more than stock. In my view, you gotta get rid of the pushrod mass to really make them run...even with superchargers on the current zr1 2013 over time. Once you get to dohc and no pushrod mass life gets lots more possible in my view...Ford agrees, Cadillac agrees, Ferrari agrees, Lamborghini agrees, yada, yada, yada.
I have heard nothing about a Z version, only the 51 series suspension stuff which you pay and pay and pay for on the options list.
I seriously like what I have and other than taking it to a 415 with Marc or something like that, if I did anything it might be really fun to put just one turbo charger on it and re chip it for that and even leave the port and relieve, etc. alone, just bigger exhaust and intake maybe.
