cool stuff :D :D

Will never happen.

It's a free system - you have the money - you buy it. GM needs trhe money, they will not turn anyone away.

You don't need any special license to buy a 190mph 0-60mph in 1.9s $10,000 super bike... why should they have this requirement for dog slow roawd car? ;)

As Borat would say, "I like, Jagshemash!!!"

:D

How different is it going to be from a Z06 in terms of styling?

Exactly. All the car magz say the power of the Vette is awesome but just lacking a bit in the suspension department. I guess thats good old American enginuity for ya

right, I wonder how much tuning will the Vette owners will do... if they'd pumped out 800 hp and 1000 hp (but thats too insane) from a 400 hp, what will they do with 600 hp from the factory... anyways theyll start braggin about how their low cost tuned car can beat an enzo... for less than half the price... without expensive oil change... and for less cost... and not having to spend so much... :P

It;ll be cheaper to buy a Z06 and mod it to 800 hp than it will be to pay whatever dealers charge for this super vette with only 600 hp.

Shit, there are already tuners that have a headers and cam package that puts down 0ver 550 RWHP (about 690 hp at the fly) for a few thousand dollars.

its got such poor suspension, that other 500+ hp exotic supercars lap in 7:50, 7:55 etc.

with 600++ hp, that will reduce the time by 4-5 seconds over the course length... however the "media named" blue devil will feature heavily revised aerodynamics; further use of exotic materials; and likely be less weight then the already lighter-then-most-exotics 3100 lbs.

GM is vying for Nurburgring production car lap record. sub 7:32 is realistic

that is poor suspension, my friend

It'll be NA. Americans know how to build high HP engines without forcefeeding them :wink:

How many runs around the 'ring did GM take to set that time? 1? 100? How much of the suspension was tweaked according to each run to get a better time on the next lap?
