Default Hello from the ZR1 Section :) video **In Mexico of course**

So my buddy just bought a used 2015 and showed up for a quick match.

c7 z07 Stock manual 60-140

zr1- stock

Second gear even. Third gear even. 4th gear I started pulling for sure. Put about a full car length and would have kept going but missed 5th

Plus you can't read because I was agreeing with some of your point.
But with the halltech on the new Z06 stage 1 is a little much for the stock ZR1.
Halltech gains canceled out HAHA! You are clueless!

Your point is missing the point? Anyone that's not dead in a closet somewhere. Knows the ZR1 is little faster in the upper speeds.
But may also be slower 0-60. This thread only brings up 60-130

The point being the Halltech fixes the problem of the Z06 being pulled on by the ZR1.

Owners of both cars that have been there and did the mod know this.

Hope that helped!

Sure not going to lose a wink of sleep over you or your thoughts that's for sure.

More like maybe a few more members with a Z06 that pulled the stingray intake off the Z06. Then added a Halltech install will chime in as well.

The extra 40 rear wheel is very apparent.
The car is much better with it. Vs with the stock parts bin stingray intake and too small of filter. GM left power on the table and really dropped the ball using too small of intake filter.
Your car will run cooler as well.
Sounds more like a recommendation instead.

I still prefer the new Z06 over the ZR1.
Both great cars.

The video wasnt working for me, but out of curiosity, do you know what aero stage he had? The ZR1 is definitely better at higher speeds, so not really surprised, but I'm sure it was a great race.

Absolutely love both cars either way. 2 extremely badass American super cars!

Stage 3 or the highest one. Said it was a fully loaded car.

The wing was removed before the race. Or at least the middle portion that drills off

Also should be working now

Nice run ... Ls9 s are so strong I just got rid of my ZR1 this week ..
In favor of a 16 Z I love both cars ... I was shocked to see the price gap between the ls9 crate And the lt4 crate engines. Does anyone know why?

The difference could be hand built over one built on a production line.

I don't think the labor content is that much difference. In my opinion the LS9 has Titaium rods$$ vs Forged powder sintered rods$ about ($4,000.) difference. And the headers, LS9's are welded steel tubing$$ vs one cast SS part$. The LT4's headers are much cheaper to manufacture at the expense of about 15 lbs each heavier. On the other hand the LT4 has the added cost of Direct Injection.

I do own both a C7 Z06/7 A8 and a C6 ZR1 which I will tearfully sell.

What were the costs you found for each?

Gee WHY not! It is the best mod to add! Sorry your offended!

Anyone with an lt4 can easily tell you it is a great mod.
You sure won't see one in your C6 mirror.
Sounds like your one jealous non owner!

I really doubt that is the issue.
The word "boast" comes to mind.

I have a several infraction'ary points built up, so we will leave it there.

The point was a friendly stock vs stock race, not a modded car vs a stock car comparison. No need to be angry that a Z07 lost to a ZR1, that's expected.

I do own both a C7 Z06/7 A8 and a C6 ZR1 which I will tearfully sell.
The higher compression of the Lt4 at 10-1 vs 9-1 allow it to have the better lower end and high end at the same time. With less boost.
Thus the 1740 was used. It requires less power loss to turn it
If you put the the Lt4 in the ZR1 and the LS9 in the Z06 it would be
not even close. The Lt4 is the better performer. The Z06 just weighs more and in this case the stage 3 arrow slows it as well.
I would take the Lt4 over the ls9 in the stock form.
