These would be flattering comments from my local ZR-1 freinds if it made sense to me. I've got 5 Z buddies in town.SanjayWill BarrettLT5LeeUSAFpilotand ROB93ZR1 on CF.I'll exclude Sanjay and Will Barrett because their Z's are nowhere near stockanymore.But 3 out of the latter hang out on a regular basis and two of which have not only been a passenger in my car but have driven it. And all three have made the same comment "Dude! Your car pulls harder than mine". Same thing happened last monday when Rob and I went to drop his car off at Coreys. We leave Corey's and head to Macarroni grill. And as I'm on the on ramp to the freeway Rob says Ok man put the hammer down. I want to see what your car has. I do. And he says the same thing. Your car pulls harder than mine and he says and thats with his big 300lb fat azz in the passengers seat. I told him I don't know how thats possible. He's got the 405hp LT5 with a B&B exhaust Haibak chip and 4:10 viper gears. His car dynoed at 368rwhp. He says I don't care what I've got your car accelerates faster than mine. And of course he points out the fact that I put that Fidanza on and I've ported my top end which makes a difference. But before I ever ported the top end USAFpilot and LT5Lee said the same thing. I know for a fact I'm running stock 3.45 rear gears. And I know that no engine work has been done to it so I don't know? Maybe it's just really good running Z. I don't know what else it could be. I decided to wait and get it dynoed after I put the headers/bullet cats on and have it tuned. Then I'll see what kinda hp #'s it's really putting out.
