There's a point to that. The Stingray did gain a few lbs over the C6 too so getting fuel economy out of it isn't so easy while bumping power. 7 speed trans too. That 7th speed is USELESS unless you're on flat freeway.
That "truck engine" you speak of has variable cam adjustability just like our engines, weighs less, is considerably more compact, has a lower center of gravity, less moving parts, less fundamental failure points, has a compression ratio higher than a Coyote engine, and will blow your neck muscles out way sooner than the Voodoo even has a chance to take a morning piss.
Don't forget that the truck engine makes more power per cubic inch...
I'm excited for it as well. I wonder whether the GT350 is better in tighter areas? Obviously the ZL-1 will be faster in the straights. A big track with long straights will definitely favor the ZL-1.
For sure, DOHC engines have been around nearly as long as OHV and pushrods, not a big difference in regards to which one is more "modern" for sure.
Very anxious as well to see this one. I feel like its being tested at Big Willow, so I'm not expecting the R to come close to the ZL1 in terms of lap times. That track is a BIG power/speed track, with only one or two technical corners where the R may perform better.

I agree, but I've noticed they've been doing Chuckwalla a lot the last year or so.
Yeah good point as well, Chuckwalla is a bit of a shorter track and more technical though compared to Big Willow isn't it?
Very surprising result. I guess I was buying into all the hype from the Camaro guys that constantly come on here and talk crap. I bet on most smaller tracks the R would whip the Camaro.

Truck, car, boat, power generator, does matter! At least by MOT standards. GT350R wins!!! Underdog stories are the best!!
