So this may have already been discussed, but I was just reading about the new GT500 and it does the 1/4 mile in a blistering 13.1 secs. Harldy seems like its worth what they're asking for it. Or may it just be a traction issue?

They actually made quite a few passes in the car. I didn't read it myself, just regurgitating the info here. First pass when the car was hot was 12.71 @ 115 or something like that. I know I'm off a bit. Hell, I'm off a lot.Originally posted by L98TA

the new MT has a road test with a "regular" C6. It could only keep up.

They're talkin about making the "Super" Corvette (whatever name they decide on) with a supercharged V8 pumping out 600 horses and reducing the weight to 2800#s.

I wrote the dealership the deposit check the same day I picked up my 06Z. If the car comes out with 600 ponies, that won't be enough to justify my purchase. The weight has to be down near 2800#s to make it worth the $100,000 that they are speculating will be the price. My car already dyno'd at close to 475 RWHP which equates to close to 550 engine HP. If my car was a couple hundred pounds lighter, it would be an absolute monster.
Now, regarding the new GT500. They said they made it very difficult for someone to change pulleys to increase boost. I think all they did was make the aftermarket companies happy. It'll be hard to find a GT500 on the street that hasn't been modded. My prediction is that with a pulley change, cai, cold air kit and tune, the car will be pushing 525RWHP give or take. Probably more.LS15 Power! Another LSx engine coming soon.

I read somewhere that the "Super Vette" aka "Blue Devil" is on its way to production with the "Stingray" name. Pretty cool if that is the case!Silver 02 WS-6, 6 speed, Corsa cat-back, SLP lid, K&N filter, BMR STB, !CAGs, Lou's short stick, MSD wires, MTI "Hammer" cam, ASP underdrive pulley, Hooker LTs, Hooker ORY, Comp 918s, TR pushrods, UMI Sfcs, UMI LCAs, NGK TR55s, Hotchkis springs

I really like the new GT500. I wish they had found a way to make it lighter though. I also wish they had picked a better production wheel for it, but the overall design is pretty sexy so with just a simple wheel swap it will be good to go. I think it would look sweet with one the 20" wheels that come on the Roush GT editions.
