> [@Nikuk](#): > > what? > > You don’t think the ZR1 can do as much as the ZR1 in what respect? Nothing has been tested nor proven by the ZR1 model yet… so what exactly are you comparing? I was saying to the motor, but the ZR1 is better in every other way. its just new at the moment so im sure it will have more after markets eventually. I really dont know much other then what i have read What i have read… (Nice numbers! Something to realize though, GM said the intercooler system is NOT sufficient to add boost at this point. So for someone to perform a pulley swap and add boost, its going to create too much heat. They may not be as modable with the FI as we are used to with 03 Cobras/Ford GT’s. Maybe a different intercooler assembly/blower(intercooler)assembly may get them there. Maybe GM was being too conservative with thier advice to the aftermarket with the intercooler capacity. We will see Im sure. Id take a C6Z with the MTI blower over the ZR1 anyday.) But that is one person, the car is sick though no doubt.

Because people don’t wanna deal with bars from the factory. It’s just that simple. 95% of them won’t be tracked anyways. ---

I thought that part of GM’s reasoning behind using asymmetric half-shafts was to change the resonance when accelerating - hence no wheel-hop.
