It must be the titanium valves and the 9" aluminum GM center section. I want one! Dyno

Titanium valves have been installed in all production LS7 heads (Z06 Corvette).

HP Rating's do not work for GT classes! NHRA needs to add some new GT weight break classes 5-5.5lbs or even 6-6.5lbs classes
550hp X 5 + 170 = 2920lbs
550hp X 6 + 170 = 3470lbs
550hp X 7 + 170 = 4020lbs
550hp X 8 + 170 = 4570lbs

I feel it is unrealistic, and unsafe to take a G5 or Cobalt over 3500lbs!

The production motors do, but this one gets steel.

I have a 2012 1SS with zero options. It weighs 3780 lbs (curb weight). Take out the back seat, air bags, stereo, heater, ABS, fuel tank, IRS, wiring harness, wheels, tires, brakes, exhaust, power accessories, etc. Install the NHRA legal replacement parts.......

How much lighter are the Drag Pacs than the street version? The COPOs are made strictly for drag racing! So who cares how much they weigh!!!

I know Bryan. I thought this weight issue has been covered multiple times with the mustangs and dodges. I'm thinking its people attempting to hate on chevy, but they can't find anything like crazy hp factors (Ford and Dodge). Even though they call it Govt. Motors, they arn't taking any handouts from our Govt. (NHRA).
