From looking at your sig you own a Z06. So you are complaining about the lack of torque on a Z06?

wow, I find it hard to believe anyone would think the Z06 doesn't have enough torque. Maybe you should mod the engine?

Or buy a Viper?

Z06's are gutless wonders. No wonder they need a six speed tranny!

Need torque?



6.0L V-8, 620 lb-ft of torque @ 1400 RPM, 340 lb-ft available @ 800 RPM. Should drop right into that engine bay!

Yeah, I read you can drive a Viper around town in 6th gear and the engine still pulls it around relatively easily.
