I don't get it. I'll have put that much on my ZL1 in a month. How do people not drive these machines.

If you follow the link at look at the photos, the guy had a bunch of cars stored in a large garage. These cars were clearly not the guys daily drivers and were part of a collection. Who knows, this could be part of an estate sale or something.

Terrible idea of collecting these. That ZO6 was about 60k new and now he’s selling for 40. That’s just dumb.

I like the look of the Gen 5 more than Gen 6, but the performance of Gen 6 is years ahead.

I always liked the C6 Z06 on paper (aside from the hopelessly dated interior) but doesn't the 7.0L have some reliability issues?

Or wait a lot longer before trying to sell it. Try again in 50 years.

Guys he's a car salesman. He's been posting cars for sale on the internet for years. And from all the cars I've ever seen him post, he's very particular on what he buys.

This was my experience also and it tainted superchargers for me.

I swapped in a Lingenfelter HX, with dual cooling fans, and added a coolant reservoir. At the drag strip, the HX fans and circulation pump could be run on a timer with the engine off to speed cool down. Still, it was downhill after the first pass unless the car sat half the day.

I’ve hot lapped my 2SS LT1, three passes, on a slow Sunday afternoon and it ran the same time all three laps. Weight and heat soak with the gen5 ZL1 were top motivators for selling it with only 4K miles for a gen6 2SS.

Some pictures of the HX swap

Sixth gen addressed all the cooling issues

Here's the part Chevrolet doesn't want me to say: In the Z06, the LT4 has cooling issues. The mighty Corvette's heart heat soaks or overheats. Remember those 11 heat exchangers I was talking about? The Camaro ZL1 will not overheat. I tried, but even after six sets of rear tires in four days—not joking—the thunderous V-8 never so much as simmered. Two of those 11 heat exchangers are actually the intercoolers that straddle the supercharger. They are redesigned and repositioned for ZL1 duty. It's also important to note that the ZL1 version of the LT4 makes exactly as much power and torque as the Z06. In generations past, the Corvette would have to (officially at least) make the most power. These days, Camaro is free to be as strong as can be.
