So comforting to know that you've managed to stay on the roads speeding around endangering other people's lives...well done :confused:

See you at a trauma unit sometime!

Re: My First Pull (driving that is)
 

Yeah because you've never driven over the speed limit have you :rolleyes:

No you wont, I dont know you well enough to visit you.

Re: My First Pull (driving that is)
 

No, I don't speed routinely, and most definitely not as often as you sound proud to do. I do, however, work in a trauma unit mopping up the broken bodies left behind from speeding drivers. Unfortunately, the drivers are usually ok, it's the passengers and the rest of the community on the road that tends to get injured or killed.

Don't be angry with me ...But I did do 165mph up the A217

Might be in the Z06.

Re: My First Pull (driving that is)
 

He said it was many years ago, I'm trying to figure it out! The new LS7 is a beast...

Re: My First Pull (driving that is)
 

I'm wondering since the LS7 is a fairly new engine. It might have been an earlier reincarnation of the that engine's series from the research that I did on it. The LS7 was first applied to the line in 2006. The line started production in 1997. So who knows. All I DO know is that thing has some major torque and hp. Damn! Can you feel your self being pinned to your seat. I can feel the rear sink for a millisecond and leap forth eating pavement. You could go passed 100 and not even know it except the blur out the windows.:cool:

Re: My First Pull (driving that is)
 

This was in the 70s It was a 454 with a quote BPH rating of 465 which was wildly conservative ..
It was never fitted as standard to any Corvettes..I seem to remember
I bought it from GM as a crate motoir ..cost me a fortune

Of course it had a 12.5 .1 compression ratio so only high octane fuel was any good ...

Found a bit more ..

The big-block was expanded again for 1970 to 454 in³ (7.4 L) with a 4.251 in (108 mm) bore and 4 in (102 mm) stroke. The 1970 Chevy Corvette LS5 version of this engine produced 390 hp (291 kW) and 500 ft·lbf (678 N·m), and the LS6 engine was rated at 450 hp (336 kW). It is generally accepted that the LS6 was substantially underrated (a common practice at the time to avoid undue attention from insurance companies) and actually produced well over 500 horsepower as delivered from the factory.

A 465 hp (347 kW) and 490 ft·lbf (664 N·m) version of the 454, dubbed LS7 was also designed but never went to production. However a handful of LS7 intake manifolds were produced and sold by a handful of Chevy dealers as performance parts. The LS7 was later offered as a crate engine from GM and advertised at 500 hp.
