First off, GREAT TO HAVE YOU ABOARD, MATT! I'm a little split on who has my dream job: you or Jon Moss
! I had to go over to
LS-1.com to find answers to some questions I inquired about earlier...I thought the '01-2 LS-1's shared more than just the block with the LS-6 (I was thinking head and intake for some reason), but they got me headed in the right direction. [For those interested, the LS-6, the powerplant of choice in the ZO6, features different heads, cam, intake, & injectors. Chime in here, Matt, if this is wrong!] Oh, a quick question: I think I read somewhere that since the F-bodies are leaving for a while, that SLP is going to move over into the Corvettes, and even into sport utes
and possibly some other models. Is GMMG gonna try doing anything on any other platforms?
Pete:
I hate to even post this, but I was thinking the EXACT same thing, with one exception: the part where you mention about the '69 look alike car. T-bird? I probably would have went with GT-40, which is going to look AWESOME, but I'm not all that impressed with the T-bird. But, I did agree with the name thing...it's got an LS-6 in it, and the Camaro has deserved the LS-6 since '70, so why not call it an LS-6? Then, convince GM to build that monster ZL-1 that Moss built (with the aluminum Donnavan!), and there's your ZL-1.
Oh, let me know when/where this '69 vs. '02 ZL-1 shootout is gonna take place! Let's see...when I last left Pete (at the Pure Stock Drags in Michigan) his ZL-1 had just finished up his "Certified Stock" inspection and was running 12.30s on Polyglass tires...the
new ZL-1 is running 12.50s...ought to be close!!!!
