You are right we don't know for a fact that its S/C. We also don't know for a fact that the sun will rise tomorrow until we witness it, but I'm pretty certain of both. The video below is of the ZL1 testing and I had a harder time hearing S/C whine in it than the new video. Ironically the S/C whine is also a 0:34. Notice this guy was hustling the car a lot harder! Looks like the video from today was the cars warm up lap/laps. The new car might be louder or it may be the mics on the cameras are different, but it sounds like the same engine to me.

You say it's a supercharger whine. Many of us definitely do not agree. Does it really matter that much? But - I am 100% confident (not hoping) that IF there is a track package for the ZL1 (and I do not think that will be the case) it will NOT be called a Z/28 package. It may have some moniker for the track package but it won't be Z/28. We are all guessing aren't we?

Sorry if it comes across harsh, just trying to let you know, LT4 or not, it has a S/C.

Here is the actual quote from the original article: Quote:
(link to original article) To me, that means that we should expect anything BUT a small displacement, high revving, naturally aspirated V8.

Going to the LT4 is a lot more than changing the formula a little. It's completely abandoning it.

Put it like this: GM is well aware of what many of us want the Z/28 to have. GM already has an LT4 Camaro. If the new Z/28 is supercharged, I see that as a big middle finger to the enthusiast community, especially after Ford's GT350/R.
So....we'll see.... |

Finally got home from work where I can use my good headphones.
I not only don't hear the S/C whine, I hear birds chirping (and a ton of tire noise). Listen carefully to the exact moment after the video edit point approximately at the 0:34 mark. Are the birds what people are confusing with S/C whine? In any case, there is no S/C whine at all that I can hear at the 0:34 mark, only birds and tire noise. The engine is at closed throttle at that point as far as I can tell from what little engine noise I can hear. But this doesn't rule out a S/C in my mind, because we need a good shot of the car coming at us with the throttle open. We don't get that in this video, as far as I can see. Most of the street clips there is a ton of other traffic noise at the key moments. My verdict: Can't determine engine from this video, but no discernible S/C noise. The original ZL1 video? I can hear that S/C without any question, and without headphones. |

I very well could be wrong, and I hope I am, but I know the difference between birds chirping and blower whine.
