Junkman Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) Apparently it is possible to extract a bit of power from the new ZR1: http://www.carbuzz.c...C6-ZR1-7706820/ Gosh. You can slag them Germans as much as you want, but if they come up with something, it bloody works.

rhs856 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 From your title, I was hoping to see something that that would make my heart race... something that my wife would never agree to... You didn't let me down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Handley Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Aren't there 1000+ hp LS motors out there already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 leave it to those bloody Americans................................... I wonder how long the Hennessey will last on an Autobahn, vs. the TIKT. Technically, the German approach makes more sense. A lot more.

Considering a friend of mine is building a supercharged 4.8 for his '04 Silverado and contemplating turbocharger for his '07-'09 Silverado DD, that could be interesting to see. As for the Hennessey car, I've heard that they are pretty much a dirty word in Viper circles for the way thwy treat their customers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
