A set of headers (longtubes), cat-back, and intake and it put down 355/360 on 2 different dyno's a few months apart. The Z's are impressive, but stock for stock it's not what you think.
based soley on numbers and not driver the LS1 has less hp stock than a Z 320 vs. 332 ... the torque is much higher with the V8 obviously.

The 1/4 specs are approximately 13.7... most people would don't drive all that great can muster a 13.7 with a Z and then we have the few with high 12 and low 13 second passes... you also have to factor in the weight of each with the Z being about 150-200 lbs lighter or so I guess?
