The camouflage is almost as bad as some of the Grand Sport color combos....

So, you walked up to a GM engineer standing next to a camo'd car, knocked him to the ground, and quickly removed the camo so you could see if there was a ZR1 emblem on the front fender?

Is that why you posted that the cars are ZR1's, with such authority? You saw a ZR1 emblem on the car!!!!!!!

BTW, I wish these guys would STFU and keep their cameras pointed at the cars.

650 n/a, red key programming, 100 octane tune, 10 speed auto, lots of weight savings (carbon fiber everything, no sound deadening, fixed roof, etc) 3,000 curb weight. Crushes everything in its path and breaks every track record on the planet for cars under $150K.

Could there be a chance of a Katech developed motor much like the LS7 was developed?

True, but more likely between 700 and 750.
