And when you look at a 911 GT3, a Huracan, and an ACR, what do they have in common? No forced induction. Call me crazy, but I believe that the Z/28, based off of the Z 1LE, should have a high displacement N/A engine with wider tires, carbon Ceramics, a whole lotta interior weight reduction, and a 10-Speed option. I’d like to see 3,550lbs. When I say high displacement, I’m talking about crate engine stuff. Not another 427, but an all aluminum 454 big block. 650hp and 600lb-ft of torque is easily possible because an LSX 454 makes 627/586. It only revs to 6300rpm. There’s no N/A car on the market with anything close to 600lb-ft of torque, and there’s definitely nothing outside of a Bugatti that’s close to 7.4L of displacement. There would be 100lbs less over the front axel, improving handing. Carbon Ceramics reduce unsprung mass, as would carbon fiber rims. The 10-Speed would work perfectly with that kind of an engine. Wider tires mean better cornering speed and less braking distance. I think it could work. A 454-powered track monster is the kind of special car it would take to one-up the Demon and GT500. Who wouldn’t be interested in that?

Okay, I’m thinking somewhat unrealistically but it’s one of those dreams that everyone would love to come true.

There was the Viper :0.
