If they keep the 3.42 rear end, I am guessing the 6th gear will be about .75 which would give the ZR1 a 202mph topend at 6500rpm.
My 7000 redline would get me to 215.... so I would be able to play with the new kids at top speed as well
If they opt for a .71 then the ZR1 will be good for 210... and I would be geared for 229  |
I take it you are not too impressed with the ZR1 considering it is not a NA engine (wonder if they have track tested it for heat soak) and it is heavier than the stock Z06.
I wonder if they should have gone for a NA 8 litre lump or hotter engine tune instead of SCing it. I bet it would have been lighter option.
