why s/c ls3 and not ls7?

DeMello · October 5th, 2008, 01:47 PM

since the ls9 is suppose to be the top of the line performance GM ever why did they s/c the 6.2L ls3 and not do it to the 7.0Lls7 in the new z06?

doesnt really make sense to me

they supercharged a car that makes 430hp NA instead of supercharging a car that makes 505hp NA

Why doesn't Ford put a 1000HP twin turbo motor in the Mustang....

probably since a car manufacturers fleet needs to be "green" now it was probably gas related

it's easy enough to drop the cr if gm went with the ls7 but the 7 is just a bored out 2 so there isn't a lot of room left in the walls to play with
