And a very good motor at that. He says the
car actually dynoed 400hp. That means the "factory" Z06 motor must be at least 480 at the crank.

Well, gosh, didn't you know my 1998 dynoed 352hp at the rear wheels... They obviously UNDER RATE them to keep the insurance down....

In 1999 they ran out of LS1 engines so they had to put a C5R 427 in mine. You can tell it's a 427 by the special "427" stickers I stuck on the valve covers.

The build sheet described the standard engine!
...that's just a blatant lie! "they ran out of the 345 horsepower engines at the factory..."
