LT5 Sound - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

I've heard you guys talking about how awesome and addicting an LT5 is at 7K RPM's so I went looking for a video to hear it for myself, since my Z is not drivable yet.

So I found this video. Holy crap, now I have an idea of what you're talking about, the LT5 sounds incredible! Can't wait to get mine going!

5:30 mark is a good place to start as I pass him around the 5:38/40 mark.

Here's a link to one you might enjoy...it's of my ZR-1 doing a cruise around the back roads of Whidbey Island. It covers the range from starting, cruising at all legal/safe speeds and a few times where I punch it up to ~ 100mph+ in 4-5th to get my heartbeat up and let Beast2 get to breath!
Hope you enjoy.
PS: car has been tweaked to 496 HP by Van Dorn's Automasters, and has original Watson headers, full length 3 inch SS pipes into B&B mufflers...no cats or X piping

How many cubic inches are pushing? Rwhp ect?

I recently tried out a new mic.

Here's the sound from it

I was also lucky enough to get a track Lap in at Le Mans this year. It was all very last minute (in true French style) so the cam is not straight but the mic is on. Ended up being sent out quite early so most the time is spent hanging back...oh well
