You are correct. I have always said the new ZR1 is what the C7Z should have been (I actually call it the C7Z 2.0).

I also get it that the Z06 was always intended to be a road course, NA car - and someone at GM thought "hey let's use a blower for the power we need - just a really small one you can barely hear" (which you honestly couldn't). Roots are the worst for heat production - and a tiny, higher rpm version is just making bad - worse.

Most people who mod are getting rid of them altogether - which is a shame. The ZR1s new 2.65L is going to be a monster - but I heard GM has locked out the ECU - so Tuning will be a challenge.
