Too rich for my blood. Probably going to flip this thing once I get it and drive just a little.
What a stupid video. All he did was iterate everything that was on the page. lol.
Should have just uploaded the images to IMGUR.
If you saw the pictures, then you "saw" the entire video. I was annoyed, so I downvoted it.

I really question that, just for the braking distance alone...MT has the C7 Stingray 'vert at 90 ft, the SS 1LE at 100 ft...I have a hard time believing the 115 ft for a base and 108 ft for the Z51...
Those distances would be atrocious
In that case, let me give you my wish list.
The rear diff is built into the trans. That's my guess as to why it weighs so much.
Well that's the problem. The compression is high, pistons are weak and fuel system sucks so bad that after market options aren't readily (cheaply) available.
how high is the compression? the new mustangs have to deal with that and seem to handle it ok, 12:1 compression plus 15-18lbs of boost has been doableIn that case, let me give you my wish list.

I think 11.5:1, the LT4 is 10.0:1. From what I was told the LT1 pistons (which remain unchanged on the LT2) are pretty weak and fueling is a major issue. The mustang is much easier to keep alive especially since it has direct and traditional injection.
I admittedly don't know much about the LT platform. Speed Inc. just posted a 6th gen making like 870 rwhp with a procharger and an LT4 fuel system so they make it work but I can't say for how long. I remember when I asked why people don't just bolt LT4 blowers on LT1 all the time, that was the answer I got. I'm kind of surprised you don't see more LT based high HP boosted GM cars out there. Must be a reason.

Rumor mill says Z06 will be TT Flat Plane Crank. Not sure on the 800hp figure, or the Flat Plane Crank. But I pretty sure it will be TT DOHC V8 because Blackwing.
