Damn!! Those videos were awesome! Thanks for posting. Everytime I hear an LT5 turning high rpms like that, makes me wish my Z was running so I could do the same!

Makes me realize what a special engine the LT5 is. What other stock V8 can go out and spin up to 7000RPMs for any length of time? And still be a solid, reliable engine? The LT5 is definitely a marvelous piece of engineering. 7K is getting near what Nascar V8's do which is I think around 8-9k rpms.

Even though prices on ZR-1's are dropping low right now, once the economy turns around, these cars will go back up in price. Especially since there are only around 6900 in existance (probably lower since some have been totaled/wrecked). It's a unique, desirable car and that's what gives it value.
