My favorite models have always been the ZR1s because of how overkill they are. In my mind, the zr1 represents what Europeans think of when they think of American excess, extra everything. More power, more downforce, more hood, more air, and more than you need. They're beautiful

The original design of the LT5 provided was supposed to surpass 500hp but GM shot it down as they wanted to keep the bore size and spacing of the 5.7.

@toxicmasculinity7870 Год назад

Meaning if GM produced the engine as originally designed, would that have meant we could’ve have looked at a potential 6 liter big block in an earlier version?

@johnpopoff7950 Месяц назад

They could have made it into a 6 or 6.6 litre and kept the same bore spacing. That would have gotten closer to 450 to 500 horsepower.

@cali2468 Год назад

LT-5 can make big power N/A. I've seen strokers do 6xxwhp. It was way ahead of it's time.

@fryloc359 Год назад

Lotus was also working on a second version LT5 with even more power. There's a video on it somewhere on youtube. If it had gone into production it would have been just insane for a street car in the 90s.

@vomErsten Год назад

Doesn't even need new cams or a change in displacement; simply port-matching and polishing the intakes and heads, installing a freer- flowing exhaust, and swapping the flywheel for a lighter one will take you from 375 stock to around 500 HP, which is already more than the chassis knows what to do with for anything other than drag-racing.

@cali2468 Год назад

@@vomErsten Who said it needs it? I said I've PERSONALLY seen LT-5's make in excess of 600whp. You're not making that kind of paper on the stock displacement. These are mainly 415ci. And plenty LT-5's tore up the drag strip strip over the years, where have you been. lol

Facts I think they perfected the design of the C4 and C5 when they made the C6, and then tried to be a little too unique with the C7. It's really weird now that the new Corvette doesn't look like a Corvette. Tbh it's like the Corvette has become transgender, it got rid of its stick and replaced it with some flappy paddles.
