This NASTY 700 HP C6 Corvette Z06 Is The Best Way To Troll a C8

@@TheWolfMattAnd the C7 Z06/ZR1 are the fastest vettes mod for mod you can buy lmao. I wonder how the C8 Z06 pairs with the C6Z06 mod for mod, N/A vs N/A. My C6Z06 on my old heads/Cams E85 setup made 650+ WHP, weighed 3140 lbs full weight without me in it. The new C8 Z06 apparently weighs 3650 lbs but it has a faster shifting trans compared the C6.

[@aimxdy8680]

@@TheWolfMattThe problem is the C7s however is the trans, 5th gear just slows the entire car down and there’s not as much support as the 6L80/6L90 trans.

[@TheWolfMatt]

@@aimxdy8680 Didn't the C7's come with either a M7 or 8L90 trans? Only the ZL1's got the 10L90 (18 or 19 and up) which was far superior to the 8L90. I still like the row of the gears done by myself opposed to some computer deciding on where it wants to put the power in each gear.

C6 was the peak of Corvette. No other generation comes even close imo.

[@aimxdy8680]

I’d argue C7 is close if you only care about performance wise, the LT4 motor can handle more power than any LS9/LS7/LS3. LT4s have made 1300+ WHP on stock bottom end and now run 6.9 second 1/4 miles on a OEM block, I believe sleeved. You need an LSX to do such thing lmao.

[@jpscharged]

​@aimxdy8680 good luck keeping your engine clean with 1300whp on a stock LT4. Must have to top off coolant every pass. Lol. You do know the block castings are no different in strength between any of the LS and LT series. All sleeves were cast iron. A 1300whp street vette of any L series engine should have ductile iron sleeves a billet crank and billet girdle for longevity at that power level.

C7 is 200kg heavier which is very much
