Engine isn't made for boost, but if rumors are correct and it'* not above the ford GT, they will build the Blue Devil.......

SSsuperchargedEI, what'* wrong with the price? The viper isn't worthy, it starts @ 80k, the GT @ 140 before dealer markup (some dealers are trying to sell them for $400k now) then there'* the 430....

I think it has plenty of power. I want to see it run against the Ford GT among other supercars through the curves. The C6 with the LS2 did a great job on the track. I can't imagine what the Z06 will do.

if 3.7 seconds is right that'* cool,

the real test will be 0-100-0 again. Due to gearing it can't hit 200, so a 0-200-0 test is out of question......

I WILL have one after i get my ZR-1 though...

meh, just looking at this picture i have that shows every year vette (including production numbers, engine options, base prices etc.) and there has always been a steady increase in price. but i've never seen a new C5 Z06 sell for more than say, $55k. $15k increase in under two years just feels like a rather large jump for something that is still made by GM.
