The ZL1 is a track monster. For $50k, it beat a lot of $100k+ cars from Europe around the Nurburgring. And the ZL1 uses a SC.
What I don't get is that the turbo appears to be better, and yet Ford and Chevy uses the SC in their high performance cars. Maybe SC are more cost effective for the price ranges that Ford and Chevy aim at? Then again the ZR1 is also SC and that is over $100k. Also, I read that SC produces more power under the curve and better torque too.
Maybe my question should be phrased: why don't the Europeans/Japanese want to use SC more, given they are spanked by American performance cars? (except the GTR which uses computers to cheat) I would argue that no comparably priced RWD car from Europe can match the ZR1 (not including cheat go-kart-like cars like the Ariel Atom).
