I like the black roof, black lights, and the fat back tires.

The thread below goes on and on. If the 500 hp rumor is true then I expect the car will have a 7.0l. 427ci*405hp/346ci=499hp

Certainly GM can get to 500 hp with a 6.4l if they wanted to try that hard. There is a guy on ls1tech that is firm about the new z06 being a 6.4l as he is involved in some part of the production process.

Note the other z06 off to the right edge of the image in the first post in the above thread.

In person the c6 looks more compact. I like the one I saw better than the photographs of them. So I am more excited about the c6 z06 than in previous days.

Enjoy

The viper guys who have any sense should already be worrying about the current car on a road course. I have been to viperdays the last two years at vir, and my first time at the track with street tires racing against a good friend who was a good driver also new to the track with street tires I managed a 2:17 and he a 2:20 (me in a stock 01 385 z06). This year I ran with victoracers and managed a 2:12.6 and he with old street tires a 2:21. I passed a lot of raced prep vipers that were running in the mod class. THe only guys that had me outgunned were the full out race guys. Now I have heard rumors that three years back a pro driver was able to manage a 2:12 in a gts with street tires, but I have never seen anything close. On track at vir the viper guys don't stand a chance against me a novice driver in an 01 z06. At road atlanta I am still behind my buddy when he runs hoosiers, he has turned a 1:39 and me a 1:40. He has a lot of time there, but even with my stock z06, it goes down to the driver, and even though I have never driven a viper, I believe it is probably quite a bit more difficult to handle than a z06. If the new car is as balanced as the old one, with more power the vipers will have no chance. At road atlanta, my buddy can pull me 10 car lengths and I am on him in the braking zone in 10a. With more power that would be all she wrote.
