Oh Dave, I wouldn't be so sure... remember, he said an lt5, that's the zr1
motor.  Those puppies put 405hp out (actually, 396 at the rear wheels) in their
last (95) incarnation.  There's a yellow zr1 called the Pineapple Express in
hawaii, which Mario Andretti drove for a publicity shoot a couple of weeks ago...
the car can do over 200mph, it has a stroker lt5 motor (415cid), and is rated at
close to 700hp, all naturally aspirated and completely street legal.  Those are
awesome motors, it pains me that whenever GM finally does a motor right they cut
production.  The motors were designed by lotus and built by Arizona Speed and
Marine.
