I traded in my '11 SS on a C7 GS a few years ago and I've loved every minute of it. My SS was a sledgehammer, the GS is a surgeon's scalpel. :smoking:

Congrats! Very cool! Now, just get rid of the VW and Dodge parked in your driveway and replace them with more GM products. J/K :D

Enjoy!

If I am hearing you correctly, it sounds as if you want to DD the Z06 as it will be your only vehicle. If that is the case, I would pass. My C7 GS is a garage kept toy and it is only used when the...

Anyone that is a car guy knows that the Hummer was always a pricey vehicle.

With that being said, when there are other companies bringing "EV Supertrucks" to market for thousands $$$ less, it...

Awesome design, but it starts at $80k. Many people will want one, few can afford one.

Best of luck GM. :chevy:

If you're already cracking into the block and replacing the pistons, why not just reinforce everything? Doing a job like this at 50% capacity could potentially net you disastrous results in the end....

Boosted engines make big power with very simple mods, so your GN doesn't surprise me. For example, an SS may gain 6-8hp from an intake, but a ZL1 can gain 25+hp.

As far as getting your stock SS...

Agreed 100%. The L99 starts at 400hp crank and considering ~15% driveline loss, that puts him at 340RWHP. LT's, a tune and a CAI are not going to gain much. I'd say those numbers are solid for...

Speaking objectively, the C7 is a beast. It checks all of the boxes, IMHO. There is a reason why GM went mid-engine with the C8. The C7 maxed out the front-engine layout in terms of performance. ...

The 5th Gen ZL1 is the way to go. The LSA is so easy to mod and can make big power. On top of that, the ZL1 is, more or less, bulletproof (within reason). When GM released the 2012 ZL1, they were...

The R/T has the 5.7L which is uninspiring to say the least and judging by the wheels on the SRT, it is either an '09 or a '10 which means that it has the old 6.1L.

Yes, those are HFC's connected to your long tubes. The cats are the choke point and swapping them out makes the most difference in exhaust volume. Instead of getting rid of them, I'd just take them...

I'm 99.9% certain that it is a Photoshop.

In order to fill out those ridiculously wide fenders, you'd need 750mm tires with 28" wide wheels or add ~12" worth of spacers. :confused:
