so after mods your close to where that 427 started from the factory, and still in a car that's doesn't have real value (you won't recoup the money you put in it)the shelby cobra is still among the fastest street cars produced

....and you spent $975,000 less. I'd say it's a very good investment. And I highly doubt those cars are 500rwhp from the factory.

they were considered under rated at around 600 hp
"Way back in 1969, Chevrolet released 69, that's right, sixty nine ZL1 equipped Camaros for NHRA racing. Many of these hit the streets instead, creating the legend. Rated at 425 factory horsepower, but realistically pumping out close to 600 horsepower with dyno-tuned headers, the all aluminum big block chevy was difficult to beat."from zlx.com

Some people have that kind of money, they don't need to invest all of their money. You have to be able to enjoy your life.

Yes I love the car but I personally wouldn't buy it, I would build a copy of it so I could drive it. I just don't like spending that money on such a fast car just to let it sit.

same here, I'd love to have an original,but that's because I love those cars

Exactly, if I was a billonaire I would definitly own one but other wise I'd just buy a '69 and drop an LS7 in there. Still all aluminum still 427, still an engine made for the Corvette and not the Camaro.

yes, those camaros are supposed to pull the wheels off the ground from the factory. i heard all you had to do was bolt on some slicks and GO!lol

and x3 on the make your own bastard camaro.lol. would be nice to have that but scary to drive such a fast car that is so rare and expensive.

P.A.W. sells the big block zl1 block either new or reman I do a '69 I'm doing big block (I am wanting to do an ls7 in the bravada though that ought to be fun until everything breaks)

nice, but for what they are worth i will take the ferrari enzo


id be happier with the 4th gen zl1

Adam seriously why are you getting so bent out of shape over this? The men who trade these cars have more money then your entire family will ever see. 1 million dollars to them would be like 2K to the average person.

the enzo can't be driven everywhere the camaro can, it sits too low (should have seen the one in Atlanta hung on a speed bump) the 4th gen has the same style as all teh 4th gens, bland to me, and they were built as a collectors car that lowers value (anything made as a collectable is worth less because of it, it's like they are forcing it)
and there is nothing like a big block

the zl1 is a pretty monstrous machine, no doubt about that.

however if i had either enzo or 1st gen zl1, they would barely be driven. especially when they are worth more than a 4000 sq. ft home

Your LS7 VS my fuel injected 572, should be a hell of a match.

Dont be so sure... Lingenfelter has some pretty powerful performance... twin turbo 725hp, 730tq, and 0-60 in under 2 seconds... Im pretty sure the ZL1 427 doesnt have those numbers.

I this corvette

did tehy ever get teh thing to finish a lap? it's horribly unreliable (as most of the cars in it's class are) if I remember right the last time a magazine did a test with a bunch of different companies only one finished
