I thought they were going to be automatics only. I see stick shifts listed. Cool.

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

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.......

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!
