zippy Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 I don't care what these other knuckle heads think.... that looks damn good! but i definitely wouldn't post those on the corvette forum... those guys would come after ya with pitchforks and torches! that is for sure, they would find no amusement in it. the set up looks good, but "corvette" shoudn't be anywhere on that car. the carbon fiber would be bad ass though or even all red without any lettering.

SinisterSS Posted July 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 The Corvette Z06 and the Cadillac CTS-V are the only two cars ever to get the "modern version" of LS6 engine. This isn't like putting red Z06 covers on a LS1 in a Camaro, the LS6 in the Caddy was lifted right out of the Z06. Same engine, same engine covers.

SinisterSS Posted July 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 I kind perfer the CF engine covers on the cts-v... Agree that the carbon fiber Caddy cover that has been teased in pictures to us by GM looks good. Too bad there is no expected time of if and when or how much they will cost. They might show up next year on the LS7 version of the V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely different cars I would try to find carbon fiber covers without the "Corvette" insignia on them. That would look really Mine just have a Mallett sticker on them, so plain ones, or ones with the CTS-V insignia would be way No offense, it is yours to do with as you please. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEAR M UP Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Richard, Looking good..... I just went out and snaped a few of my Z06...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 they both use the LS6, only one is a corvette. the covers don't say LS6 on them, just corvette. camaro owners use the black one's quite often since they have an LS1 like the base corvettes. i'm guessing the LS6 in your caddy wasn't lifted from a corvette, if it were i'd be upset that they gave you an engine from another car.

m396 #00-011 Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Yeah, Mallett hinted that GM was already working on a knockoff of his Mallett-V's cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the same engine - block, cam, heads, compression, intake, blah blah blah. Due to a slightly more restrictive exhaust system and filter air-box, the Caddy LS6 is rated at 400 hp instead of 405 like the Z06. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, as SinisterSS stated, the LS6 is the exact same motor in the Z06 as it is in the CTS-V. It's not like the F-body and Y-body thing, which had different cams and such..

WisconsinSS Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Will those fit our engine. It would drive my neighbor crazy if I did that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing with the different intake manifold of the trucks, it would take quite a bit more to modify them to our use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigW Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Engine covers look nice. You have good taste in trucks and cars but your choice of snowmobiles needs alittle work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
