Well, a little background for those of you who have missed it or have not read.
The LS7 was originaly supposed to be a 6.3 or 6.4 liter engine. And that engine would just make the 500hp mark, but engine durability test coming up bad, and the ALMS coming down on the Corvette team, saying that they can either drop performance to match the production car, or the production car can match the race car, Team Vette put teh same equipment into a larger 7.0 engine, the same size engine that can be found in a C6-R. All the stuff they put into that 6.4, they put into the 7.0 and easily cleared the 500 mark. And they put it in a light weight car, and the most amazing thing I think, about the Z06 is that there is no gas-guzzler tax on it. I would venutre that its the only 500hp+ sports car that doesnt have it.
