Something else you may want to consider is a 2008-2010 Cobalt SS (turbo). Seems like they're hit or miss, but mine has given me almost zero problems in over three years. It held the 'ring record...

Not at all trying to dog the Z06, I'm keeping mine forever, but didn't one of the hellcats pull off 0 to 150 MPH in 15.6 seconds? I believe the best the C6 Z06 did was 17.0 seconds. And the ZR1 did...

I'm no expert in car crashes, but I'm very familiar with aircraft crashes and there's a reason they're always so much worse - speed. I agree with the fire, EMT, police, and medical guys - if they...

Great Parking Lot Encounter

I took the Z06 out for a nice weekend drive a few weeks ago. Had to stop by the store afterward for my post-drive beer. :cheers:

As I was walking out of the store, I saw a new BMW i8 parked near...

This could be a new thing the "new GM" is doing. I heard this was coming. And that it also impacts all C6 models that still have powertrain warranties, but mostly the Z06s. The worst part is that...

100% correct. Dead on man. And there's nothing illegal, or immoral about it. On an untuned car, the likelihood of something like a simple tube and filter actually causing a catastrophic engine...

Clearly the OP researched Lingenfelter cam and engine packages to sound knowledgeable and then found those pictures on google simply to say he'd like an NA option. Seriously guys? :rofl:

For a split second I thought you meant the exhaust valves in the heads. GM finally fixed the LS7, by replacing the valves in the LT4. Can't even get that! :rofl:

Wow, great run. I'd question "minimal mods" because I don't fully understand E85 and the ice box. I guess I'll be the sacrificial lamb. Is it as simple as adding an additional air to water...

I could add the C6 Z06 back in. The only hurdle is that I've made this thing so sophisticated I'm pretty sure I'll have to tune it significantly. It's getting increasingly difficult to model one...
