Yeah, a lot of machines will outperform it these days. A friend of mine has one of the few Lingenfelter cars, and in addition to being bullet-proof like all the LT5s, at 650hp it is a nasty fast beast.

Its all about technology, I just wish GM would drop all the plastic covers and let the machinery show. The old 350 LT5 with a bit of P&P, headers and a good tune will still put out 500+ HP and run with the newer cars 60mph up 
One day a C7 will sit next to mine waiting to see if they do a ZR1 again first.

GM is sort of like area 51, things are going on that we are not aware of, for example in the museum there is a C6 with a C7 LT1 engine in it that was tested for two years before GM came out in 2014 with the new C7.
