I can't lie I'm curious about this Corvette!
Z06-what?! Don't know if anyone already shared this but I can't wait to see what's underneath!(that's what she said).

Oh that's right C5 related... Wondering what could be better than having my C5 Z06? Maybe having another Z06 from the new generation. Pretty exciting that it's already out there!

While clearly credited as a well done photoshop, it still gives you something to drool over...

Can't wait to see what the new Hi-performance version looks like and what enhancements over the base model it has.

One of the coolest things about this car is going to be what lies in the intake manifold. Here's a screen shot if you wanna see...

Taryn is about as likely to sell his C5 as I am.... I don't see it happening.!
I'm getting ready for this C7Z NOW!
Toque sleeps in his car.... He doesn't even have a bed..

Check this out...
Per the patent application:
[0010] The centrifugal compressor may be driven by the crankshaft via a drive mechanism. The drive mechanism may include at least on of a gear, a chain, and a belt drive.
[0022] As shown in FIG 2, the compressor 32 may be driven by the crankshaft 22, via a drive mechanism 50. The drive mechanism 50 is configured to rotate the compressor 32 and generate appropriate boost pressure according to the performance parameters established for the engine 10. The drive mechanism 50, may include a gear, chain or a belt drive that operatively connected to the crankshaft 22. Alternatively, the drive mechanism 50 may include an electric motor (not shown) that is configured to rotate the compressor 32. In the preceding case, the operation of the electric motor may be regulated by a controller, such as an integrate PCM, to obtain appropriate performance from the compressor at specified engine speeds.
With vehicles with regenerative systems or any type of hybrid configuration, still utilizing a gas engine, you may be looking at the possibility of something more efficient than that of a ball bearing turbo. If recaptured energy could then drive the electric compressor, you have a truly 0 loss forced induction system with a purely configurable boost onset/torque deliver curve, etc. So damn simple, and yet never thought of....wtf.
