Default If you're in the market for a boosted Z06...

... would an iron block (LSX, Dart, etc.) steer you away?

Discuss.


I know the guys who view the Z06 as being a track car won't want a heavier block... but they also wouldn't be interested in a boosted C6 Z06 either. I'm asking specifically if someone were shopping for an high-ish HP Z06 (850+ rwhp).

On the contrary, that would make me far less concerned than a SBE LS7 running an FI setup.

Agree 100% that if a potential buyer is interested in a 850 hp FI Z06 for track/road racing...they need reevaluate their situation.

I'd be more concerned on how well the setup looks put together and runs.

I wouldn't want an iron block at that power level but I'm kind of **** about weight.
