Re: The last Hurrah - ZR-1
Article sounded like it was written by GM powertrain engineers. LT4 @ 330 = LT5 at 405? Really?
Wasn't until 405 C5Z06 that they could complete with ZR-1.

Re: The last Hurrah - ZR-1
I didn't know that Paul Zazarine could fit in a ZR-1

Thanks for the link! It's always fun to see all the differing viewpoints on the situation.

Re: The last Hurrah - ZR-1
Heart of the Beast never mentioned the Supra or the Wankel engine in the RX-8 as reasons Chevrolet wanted to develope a Super Vette that I remember. It did mention the NSX, however.
