My 415 featured in Vette magazine

[DoctorV8]

The groundwork for this article was laid in 2005, but after multiple staff changes at Vette, I suppose it was interest in the C6 ZR1 that finally led to the publication.

Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

I'd take your Z over a new one anyday.

Thanks guys. Nate, they are 18 x 10 front and 18 x 12 rear, with 275s/335s.

I thought they looked bigger than 17 but the ariticle didn't mention a size. Only the stock 17x11 for the ZR-1's.

Nice looking vehicle and love the wheels. I always like the black color combo with the red and especially that ruby.

found the articles very interestng. the DRM color is my favorite (if it was a 95 ted would be ALL about that car!)

the biggest thing is the old LPE 415 defended honor quite well

faster mph and quicker et that the new ZR1

not bad for a lil old LT5

don't need no steeenkin blower, just 415 of LPE power

nice car doc, glad to see it get some air time

the LPE 415s are just amazing and your car performs with the best of them!

is the profiel on both front and rear 30? or is the front 35?

so 275/30 or 275/35 for front

and 335/30 for rear?

I am looking for tires for my 18x10 and 18x12 wheels

Thanks!!

Thank you for posting the link. That was an enjoyable read. It brought a smile to my face as I'm sure your car brings "permagrin" to yours.

Rock on DoctorV8

Does anybody know how many seconds need the LPE 415 to pass the mile?

How many miles do you have on that 415?

Thanks Joel. I bought the car with 10,000 miles on it in 2002, in pristine original condition, right down to the Gatorbacks. Now it has another 5k on it since the conversion....which is not nearly enough!

They didn't time us when I took the Z out there in 2004...but I won the street class that year....capping off a 1-2-3 finish with two other LPE stroker ZR-1's!

275/35 front and 335/30 rears....no rubbing after I raised the car about 1/4" from its original slammed position on the Coilovers.



Thanks everyone. I really don't drive it as much as I used to, but it's still just as exciting now as it was 7 years ago. I'd also like to add that although the article didn't mention it, it was Corey at Henderson Performance in New Braunfels, TX that did all the work on the car. Wouldn't trust my ZR-1 with anyone else!

Thanks, Ron! And though the article listed the hp at 610, ostensibly off of LPE's website....mine made 663 at the crank, which I have the original LPE dyno sheets to prove.

I am hoping to pull up next to a C6 ZR1 someday for sure!

you know, with that ET and MPH I thought it might be stronger than listed. very nice running car. 663 is VERY stout and the quarter mile times certainly back that up. greet runs Doc.

hope to see you at BG this year!

Great article about a great Z. You've really balanced the whole thing out nicely.
