LT5 engine supercharged
Looks like a more up to date RPO code search shows the LT5 listed as supercharged and there is no longer any mention of DOHC like the previously linked RPO guide.

Saw this originally on GMI and didn't see any mention here yet.

This makes total sense now. When I observed the ZR1 testing at Laguna Seca for three days last month I could tell that the sound track came from a LT4 with a bigger SC. It had a definite deeper sound than the ZO6 that was also testing there. 1.7 liter vs 2.65 liter supercharger will do that. They obviously would have to expand the diameter of the exhaust system as well. More air in, more air out !!!!

Got Boost?!
Ive noticed they're also testing the ZR1 without with big wing... interesting. Hopefully there is an option to get one without it and I'm in.

^^^ They might offer it with 2 configurations....large or small wing. I like them both.

I am liking both as well. Unfortunately, I don't do road courses etc. but may do the 1/2 mile or Texas Mile roll runs (less stress on the baby) so less down force is my goal. I hope she comes out next year since I am this close to buying a C7Z and putting a big blower on it!
