427 Tiger Shark Concept?
Anybody else see this car in the October ROAD & TRACK magazine? GM took a 2001 vette and punched a LT-1 to 427 cubic inches, added a blower, a 68-72 hood bulge and emblems. 700 plus Horspower! Suppose something like this could ever make production? That would pretty much take care of the Vipers and Saleens! :yesnod:

Yeah man! There are better articles in both this month's Vette and Corvette Fever. In addition to the tiger shark, the Corvette Fever article also had a vette with a 450hp nameplate that was tough looking as well. Notice the nice rear spoiler treatment (like the chrome sharks!) and the blacked-out panel with tail lights and license plate on the C5 rear - Looks much better IMO! :yesnod:
