2002 ZL1 Camaro's

[JoeC]

Welcome to the site Matt. It is good that you are building the LS6 Camaro. I don't mean to sound too negative, but you should have called it a LS6 Camaro. A modern ZL1 Camaro should have at least 500hp. This is not unreasonable with today's technology. The Viper has 450hp, Ferrari has 508hp, the new Ford GT40 has 500hp. Chevy has the engine to compete - It is the LS1 427 C5-R motor. It should be able to be built with 500hp and be fully emission legal. Katech already sells a 585 hp LS1 street motor. Now call Chevy and demand a 500hp 427 LS1 for your ZL1 Camaro. While you have them on the phone tell them they need a ZL1 Corvette to. All they have to do is write a check to a vendor like Katech and they can get the motors built. It just takes somebody at Chevy with big enough round things to do it. The last F-Body deserves a good send off.
