love these cars..... they were Pioneers... the first production DOHC Rwd v8s....not a Cheap motor to Replace i would imagine.. but id kill to own one of these AMAZING machines
You mean ''first production DOHC V8 RWD'' made by US car company??
LT5 is great engine, but i heard that is expensive, and not reliable as OHV brother. But power potencial even naturally aspirated better than LT4 and LS1.
@2jzgtejza80 The LT5 is a very reliable engine, it's the fact that parts can be hard to come by. It still hold the 24 hour endurance record, 21 years and counting.
Why is it that people can't just ENJOY a video without getting into a pissing contest? Honestly, some of you brand loyalists act like retards. On BOTH sides. Why not just accept that some people like things you don't, and be happy for them, without being a bunch of smug twats?
King of the Hill was what the magazines named it when it came out. For someone who picked a name like lil jon you're one to express you're oh so tasteful opinions. Go back to watching civic videos wannabe
@canamer757 uhhm do you even know what you are talking about? ricers are foreign crap that idiots put exhaust on to make them sound cool. they have no performance to back themselves up. a 1990 zr-1 could chew up and spit out any rice burner on the street, especially with the 375 hp LT5 engine
America does make great cars. We are hampered by a govt. that pokes it's nose into everything we do. Straying off track a bit but ACM 401s can make 500 hp pretty easy. It is an underated powerplant.
That's exactly it. In it's time it was unbelieveable. But that time is over. Or is it? Look up 2009 ZR-1. Marvel at the $80K pricetag which fetches an over 600bhp monster. The exposed cowling on the hood reveals a much overdue supercharger. This rocket is ready to dominate. Look out Dodge, Chevy has a Viper-killer on the path. Even money, so pick your poison.
Ya dude talk about ahead of its time lol. The LT5 was built in conjunction with Lotus in 1986. It's as fast to 60mph as a freakin C5 Z06 (4.6sec!) and had a top speed of over 180mph. In 1990 it broke 7 New International Records for FIA Category A, Group 11, Class 10. And 3 world records:
Sorry but it is not as fast to 60 as a C5 Z06. Motor Trend recorded 0-60 in 4 flat and 12.4 in the quarter for a 2002 Z06. And the ZR1 could not go OVER 180. I have a Z06 now, and owned a 91 ZR1, so I know what I am talking about. The ZR1 is a great car.
oh my bad, I didnt know motor trend coaxed 4 sec flat out of the z06. Thats cool you owned both. I'm trying to decide if I should buy a C5 z06 or a C6 base model. Which would you recommend? I cant remember where I heard the ZR1 could go over 180mph, guess I was wrong on that one as well, thanks for the correction:)
I heard that the ZR-1 was so advance that the only company in the world who could make them was Mercury Marine. But now i think (17years later) that the Cadillac 4.4l V-8 Supercharge is more advanced making 460+++ hp.
are you not a ford fan?, because their 4.6 4v,3v and 5.4 Ford GT engine are all award winning designs, hell, the 2v in the base cars and truck has one numerous awards. I'm Mustang hardcore, but I'm educated and a proud AMERICAN. The vette IS the best sports car made in the US. I visit the museum every 2 years and I'm a mustang guy! OH< that northstar from caddy is awesome too, but sorry for going on. I'm a car dork!
wards 10 best engine for about 10 years running. dohc 4.6 used in Koenigsegg super car!
I know of the spit plugs, but my two buddies with F150's have never had it happen and I have never ever seen it in a 4.6 or 5.4, I know your just a homo, don't try explaining yourself
im a vette freak but the viper was the king till they killed it.
