And maybe a ZR1 cluster instead of those cheesy bowtie gauges. Maybe you and I should build a better one? ---

There’s a guy with an built LS7 4th gen that’s been to LVD a few times. It’s a full blown drag car, tubbed, etc. Not sure on his power, but the car went mid-9’s on the footbrake. Perhaps an iron block with LS7 top end? Didnt talk to him very long. ---

The engine compartment doesn’t even look American anymore. It looks like an S4 with the plastics removed. Agreed on the gauges. The bowties can go. If just the tach or speedo had the ZR1 badge that would have been cool. GMPP used those gauges in the LS7 CETA WS6. gross! The brakes look like stock calipers… Why not ZR1 brakes or at least CTS-V Calipers? The brake lines to the ABS unit are very neat. Makes me want to rebend mine. ---
