If the Z06 can run wiht the GT already, this one will blow it away. I guess 505 hp wasn't enough.

It's cool, but I dont think there's any way that will make it close to production. Chevy has way too many financial problems to be able to channel its meager earnings into a limited production niche car like this. That said, a $100k car that can blow away Ferraris and Lambos at will would be a nice car to own

I saw a red 06 Z06 yesterday, i thought they only made them in yellow? Thatd be weird if the guy had it repainted already.

and you can't add much boost safly to a car with such high compression.
Its probabaly only pushing like 5psi if it is doing 600hp.

P.S. GM hire Doug with a fat 6 figure income and you might start selling cars again.

What could sales figures actually be on a car like this? I think it's nuts to pay $75,000 for a Chevy, but $100,000!????? I think if they do they'll sell like 3 a year.
Seriously, if you have $100,000 disposable income to buy a car, would it be a Corvette??

The rumored 07 McLaren-tuned Viper should be able to beat the blue devil easily. They are saying it's now prodicing 650hp.
