Absolutely fantastic video. Thanks for sharing the link. Jay has been a strong supporter of American automakers.

Cool video, Jay Leno is the man.

Its nice to see someone who actually appreciates American performance cars in a day when all the talk is about 4 cylinder riceburners.

**SS02** · 12-10-2008, 01:24 PM

Yep... with his cash! Well he can say and buy whatever he wants. He
supports American!

That Vette does rock, not a big fan of the clear spot in the hood!
To much bling for me... The car is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think he has a camaro, firebird and mustang doesn't he? Can't remember. He has a lot of cars if I remember right.

**BIG GUNS** · 12-10-2008, 02:52 PM

I know he has a 10th Ann. Firehawk. The black one with gold stripes and gold rims. Pretty damn rare.

No, this guy bought the first one. Not sure how Jay Leno has that serial number. This one is the only Le Mans Blue ZR1.

you wouldnt want to do that, they had to make the cylinder walls of the LS7 very thin to get 427 ci in a small block. LS7 isnt built for boost.

Umm yea. Thats why there are several supercharged C6 Z06's out there right now. On a stock LS7, you dont want to go over 6psi, because of the compression ratio not the thickness of the cylinder walls, but it can handle a supercharger.
