Just wondering if a Haibeck modified would be anywhere in the ballpark to a new ZO6. Any objective guesses assuming 580 hp (475 rwhp) on the LT5?
That seems pretty unlikely. The 2002 Z06 is a few hundred pounds lighter, has 30 more horsepower, and can hook up a lot better. I think completely stock, the Z06 would beat a 375 horse ZR-1 pretty easily, at least in the 1/4 mile.
