All the power is available from the LT1 pretty low on the powerband. And it's direct injected, just a few bolt ons and the engine could produce well over 500 RWHP. I wouldn't be surprised to see a C7 with a intake and headers beat a current GT500 in the 1/4. And around a track? Forget about it lol. Might as well be racing against a bike.
