I would rather a less sophisticated, more reliable, better proven LS3 engine, that isn't prone to destroying itself (like the new Corvette engine).

LPE stage 1 is only 680hp and 598rwhp.

GTR P800 is 800hp and 702awhp.

This more accurate figure might explain as much. The LPE stage 2 is more like 735rwhp

Still a time of 7:41 and 7:38 is far better than the GTR's times. I dont think we have seen the best from this little Zr1.
