They also show its competition hp and torque numbers, so this ZR1 should beat lambos, ferrari, and porsches.

In the center on the LCD is the speed. Anyone watch to see how fast it accelerates? They're cruising at 100mph before he accelerates and it pulls damn fast, even at those speeds.

It sounds pretty good inside the car when it's stock, too.

If you can call a car like that stock... crazy

If that motor makes that much with a S/C could you imagine what it would do with a twin turbo?

Or wonder how small you could go on the pulley? Iirc it's already IC'd.

I basically did that in a NASCAR ride at the Daytona Internationaly Speedway years back. I didn't see a mph gauge, even though the cars have like 50 gauges, but they say you'll be going about 175 or so given the drivers temptations. And being a passenger going around on an embankment, sucks. The g's aren't fun and doing that for extended period of time stinks, but through me some $$$, like the NASCAR guys could make, and I'll do it. But in a ZR1 that looks like a blast, especially blowing by a minivan!!

My vette tops at 130, governed! I need to get into the pcm!
The sound is cool too!

The Cobalt SS was intercooled from the factory and people were still modding and dropping pullies on them.
