ZL1/GT500 on same dyno

[Rick Modena]

I'd love to have a Z06 or ZR1 when I'm fat old and bald.

Wait, Im fat, old and grey, wheres my fucking ZOSlut?!?!?!

So you're just waiting to get fat then??!

BOOSH!

But isn't the point of a dry sump to operate at high pressure without any air in the lines?

No, the point is to reduce windage. Instead of having a bunch of oil flying around in the oil pan creating drag on the crankshaft, it gets sucked out by the pump and put into a tank where it is distributed from there.

you shoppin in the wrong place man. ive seen them for low 70s. the GS that ive seen were all stickered in the 65 range

What's sticker on both cars? I looked at a 08z in 08 sticker was 84k, out door for 69+ttl... I don't think they've come down in 5 years. Last loaded Z I saw in C and D was 102k or somethin with the centennial pack.

Even a dry sump has a pickup in the oil pan, it has a suction hose that would pick up from that point. If that pickup gets starved, it could mean problems depending on how the rest of the system is made.

How did a dry sump car have pickup problems?

since i dont own a z06.. i dont have all the details... if its that important to you, go ahead and google it..

New Zs are 80-100k man, I'd think 30-50 more grand is more than "a few grand extra"...

By "a lot" you mean a small percentage of 06 z06's that had a very specific issue fixed in later years right?

I heard about it. What was the problem anyway? Was this the thing where they had to change out oil pans?

yup.. high G prolonged banked turns ( dont remember if its a left or right turn) would drain oil away from the pickup and oil starvation would occur..

Isolated to a small percentage of 06 z06'es..

Not sure, I remember hearing about regular LS1's having an issue as well with starvation due to lateral G's leaving the pickup dry. It's been awhile since I looked into the them so it may be fixed.

Seeing as how a lot of the LS series has oiling issues on the auto course will the ZL1 have the same flaw since it's not dry sump?
