How much you wanna bet that the 500 hp number is going to be vastly underrated.
I just got the message from digitalcorvettes too. Hey RC, no wonder GM was shittin' at you!

Forged Crank and TITANIUM rods? This thing is just begging to be built up. I'll bet this engine can handle over 700 hp.

Sorry for all the posts, I'm just so excited that it's finialy a reality! And that it's everything I hoped it would be.

Anyone got $70k I can borrow? Thats damn nice, and it's going to be damn fast. Wonder what Clarkson would have to say when and if it shows the Ford GT who boss?
I want more pics of that C6R!

i cant wait until top gear tests this and it competes on par with the ford gt. after all the trouble clarkson has gone through with the gt, i cant wait to see what kind of bullshit comments he makes about the Z06. "but its got leaf springs" "its still just a corvette" blah blah blah. its gonna be hilarious. by the way, i want one so badly...
