My dad has a C7 Z06 and there is nothing you could do to get my into a C6 after having spent time in a C7. The performance may be similar between the two, but day to day there is hands down absolutely no comparison C7 Z06 > C6 Zr1
I had 2 C6 Corvettes. First one was an 06 Coupe w/Z51 pkge and the second was my Z06. I loved the C6 Corvette, but the C7 is miles ahead in styling and quality. The interior alone is enough to get the C7. The C6 interior was just horrible. The C6 ZR1 and C7 Z06 are basically the same. The C6 Zr1 weighs less though. My money would go to a C7 Z06.
How would you rank LS9 vs LT4? Which can take a beating?

Slightly wrong the C6 Z06 is about 170 lbs lighter over the C6 ZR1 as you have the added weight of the S/C it's intercooler and connections and the larger carbon ceramic braking system 3175 vs, 3,333 lbs.
Have you ever held a carbon ceramic disk? They weigh nothingSlightly wrong the C6 Z06 is about 170 lbs lighter over the C6 ZR1 as you have the added weight of the S/C it's intercooler and connections and the larger carbon ceramic braking system 3175 vs, 3,333 lbs.
No one mentioned the blowers...
ZR1 has a 2.3 TVS and the C7Z06 has a 1.7.
If you want to mod.. buy the ZR1 as the blower will support more HP.
I wasnt comparing the weights or the C6 Z06 and C6 ZR1, I was comparing the weights of the C6 ZR1 and the C7 Z06. I know the weight of the C6 Z06 is less then the C6 ZR1.Slightly wrong the C6 Z06 is about 170 lbs lighter over the C6 ZR1 as you have the added weight of the S/C it's intercooler and connections and the larger carbon ceramic braking system 3175 vs, 3,333 lbs.
Yes, but the LT platform > the LS platform. The engine is almost better enough that it's a wash.
Your posts are usually well thought out, but I don't even know what that means as it pertains to modding either for more power.
That said, I'll admit im ignorant to the some of the details within each platform (LT and LS).
Boltons and E85 will put a C6ZR1 over 800rwhp. LS9 is fully forged too and will handle anything you can throw at it. I’m an LS guy and will never own a DI LT platform.The Zr1 (Ls9 right?) undeniably has a better supercharger, but the C7 Z06 (LT4) has an engine that is able to do more with less, because as a whole the engine is superior (heads, cam, DI, etc...). I mean look at the fact that at 6.2L a piece, one makes like 640 HP with a 2.3L blower and the other makes 650 with a 1.7L... I don't think it's hard to get the LT4 up into the higher HP figures as well, but I'll admit i only know what comes across my FB feed - I've never actually gone out and researched how much power they make with bolt ons.

Is the LT4 dry sump?
I watched an LT1 oil starve, blow a hole in the block and catch the car on fire at the track. I'm really reserved when it comes to the LT series.
CamaroYes the LT4 is dry sump only same for the Grand Sports and Z51 packaged regular Stingrays they all have a 10.5 qt dry sump system standard. And sounds like that was just a regular Stingray without the Z51 package and a 6 qt wet sump oiling system
