I should put one of those LS9's in a Camaro. A Jackass Camaro....Yeah, that's the ticket.

amazing how stable the car looked, I dont think I could take time to look at the gauges at that speed.

The ZR1, with its 638 horsepower supercharged LS9 V-8 engine, clocked in at a staggering 205 miles an hour (330 km/h). We’re thrilled with the results and excited for it to hit the streets."

hopefully those two sentences together don't get them in trouble later... Porsche has been sued over the Carerra GT because it was essentially (abridged wording not a case quote) too fast for a street vehicle. As soon as some jackhole gets hold of too much car and walls the thing, the estate will sue GM for not having specific (which the estate will specify) traction controls to manage all that power, etc etc.

Car is awesome tho' and I think GM is really doing some great stuff with the Vette platform. Very cool and a chunk cheaper than a 997TT, etc.
