The New ZR1

[XcYZ]

I'd really like to know more about the factory dual disk clutch.

I remember when I first saw carbon rotors on a porsche I had to see how much they were to replace and it was something like 3k a piece. Cant remember the exact cost. I though it was the dumbest idea ever but reading through the specs on this car the rotors are supposed to last the life of the car!

According to a guy who works for Eaton (Eaton makes the blower) his buddy made 750hp with a 1.9L blower on his truck. The ZR-1's blower is a 2.3L so more power is well within reach!

..That is SO glad to see GM taking the time and effort to do such awesome display / photographic work like that again (exploded views etc) like they used to do back in the day? Hat's off to whomever had to do all of that work (and of course David Kimble's cross section artwork never disappoints, either!) -Rob

The LS9 uses the largest blower ever built to date by Eaton. The supercharger is a 2300ci unit. The 1900ci unit that was tested on the LS2 put out over 700 hp with something like 8 psi of boost. The LS9 made in the neihborhood of 900hp on pump gas with a 50 state legal emissions tune. This thing should be a MONSTER if GM allows it to be. Only time will tell. And you can bet it won't be advertised with the figure listed above, but it is capable.

this was quoted from another member in another thread about the ls9. not sure of the truth of it but if it is we are in for a badass from gm
