Isn't the next Hi-Po Corvette (I've seen called the Z07) supposed to be in the 700-750hp range?

Tune Question??

That's a nasty Z06. How much HP you guys think he got from a tune?
Speaking of tunes how much HP could we expect from a tune??

It is supposed to be a supercharged LS7 pushing at least 600 HP.

That would be so embarassing to have paid that much for the ford gt and get spanked like that from a vette...

I love the part at the end when the gt driver is giving the thumbs down...

not my quote but its true:

"not to but in but the Z06 runs like 11 to 1 compression ration on a 7 liter motor to achieve this amount of power. thus supercharging it would produce very little gains as the compression ratio is so high. The ford GT on the other hand has a 5.4liter engine that is some where in the 8.5 to 8 to 1 compression ration thus allowing for the supercharger. these engines are totally different and cant be compared they both reach the same results by different means. "

Hello sir, how does it feel to get your ass handed to you by a car that costs $50-60k less and is N/A?

Man, the ford owner was a douche. Not a sport about getting his butt kicked at all.

Ford GT has horrible gearing judging by the video. That Z06 once it hit 4th just ******* ran from him hard!

Sorry didn't get to see all of it when I was at work earlier.

Just a guess, but since that was a compilation of videos from both cars, and the fact that they were sitting right next to each other while they shot the beginning, I'm betting they know each other and it was all in good fun.

I dunno... who knows , still two kick ass cars though just wish they didn't cost as much as the house I am planning on getting. I could always double up house payments and car payments and sleep in the car instead all the time

It's considered a roof over my head. hey baby want to come over my place? hop in. wow nice car.. where your house? uh it's right here.

you are correct but a FI engine must have lower compression and a N/A engine must have higher compression to make the kind of power these monsters do. My comment was preluding to the next Z06 the one that might be boosted. Rumors fly about it being a 650 HP SC viper super slayer or even a 700+ hp N/A lambo destroyer. If they were going to make the next Z06 boosted they would obviously lower the compression.

These engine can be compared easily, it is done all the time and will continue for as long as high hp cars exist. On a smaller scale the SS engine is compared to turbo (SRT4) and N/A (RSX-S) engines all the time. Are you saying that these engine can not be compared as well. While FI and N/A engine use different methods in making HP they all strive toward the same goal, making HP in the most efficent, cost-effective and safe way possible. So in having the same goal they ARE comparable.

While i can see where you are coming from lets level the stage. Take the GT engine and Z06 engine, give them both lower compression and boost.Comparable?

The LS7 with lower compression and boost would absolutely murder the GT. "There's no replacement for displacement"

You completely misunderstood why he posted that quote.

He posted that quote for people that say

To say wait until the Z06 is boosted doesn't matter and doesn't make sense to say.

For the K20 to be comparable to the LSJ in the same way the LS7 is compared to the GT's motor, the K20 would have to have a higher deplacement along with the already higher CR. K20 2.0l N/A --- LSJ 2.0l SC LS7 7.0l N/A --- GT motor 5.4l SC.

See how what you said doesn't make sense and how the quote is right??? What if Ford decides to build a 7.0l SC motor???

I missed the first line, thats for sure but you can still compare the engines. I did not mean for my alternative example to be taken as a paralell to the GT and Z06 as well as i could have used a better example (that made more sense) that I admit too. I went off one my own FI vs N/A tangent.

I still stand by that the engines are comparable. And if ford makes a 7.0L SC motor ill give them a cookie.

The engines are only comparable in overall performence, but don't compare how they make power. 7.0 NA with 505hp 3100lbs vs 5.4 SC with 550hp 3300 or 3400lbs. It makes no difference if the motors are supercharged or naturally aspirated, that is what the quote that mtwal posted is saying.

This was the thought behind my stance on being comparable. With my comment about a boosted Z06, wouldn't 2 potenitally boosted engines be more comparable?

It's been a long day maybe im just not seeing something but if its good enough for Road & Track to compare TC / SC / N02 / N/A engines its good enough for me. I have the mag but can't find a link to it

read the comparison at the bottom
