Matt Farah from /Drive has a new clip on YouTube with a driving impression of the new ZO6, and the opinion that it's more appropriate to call it "The New ZR1":

Interesting eh? Your thoughts?

I haven't driven a new Z06, but if it is anything like the outgoing ZR1, it is awesome! It only has an additional 12 hp, but the supercharging in the ZR1 is smooth and that car seems more "refined" over the C6 Z06. I also recently learned that the top speed on the new Z06 is 185 mph, where the top speed on the ZR1 is 205 mph. The new Z06 is more track capable, but loses top end speed due to the aero package, which causes greater down force. :cheers:

Just saw this last night - the #s are mind-blowing. Life is great when it's a tough choice between ZR1 and Z06. In the meantime, I still love driving the ZR-1 - there will always be something magical about the LT5!

I asked the guy about making a Procharger kit for the LT5, but he said demand would be too low, and potential is too low.

I want to see a blown LT5, that can be repeated.

Actually this was done several years back.

Who made the kit? Cost?

That is bad azz ! Get a regular LT based car and slap that baby on it. Parts be flying all over the place ! Not for the weak hearted. Traction ? We don't need no stinkin traction.
