According to the May 2004 issue of Sports Car International (page 23):
" ... The bad news is that this high performance variant (Z06) will not be available until September 2005. The good news is that both the appearance and performance gap between it and its more sedate bretheren will be far more dramatic than is the case today. Expect wider wheels and tires with corrspondingly wider body work, upgraded brake and suspension components and a 7.0 liter engine delivering somewhere between 500 and 600 horsepower."
I sure hope they're right !!!! :D :D :D

Re: 2005 Z06 (BlackZ06)
The C6 Z06 is just going to be a monster.......I still think the engine will be the 3V 6.4 liter that has been talked in this forum......
The base C6 was already tested and it reached 186 MPH, i don't even want to think what the Z06 will be capable of.......
It has a legit shot at 200 MPH and 0-60 should be below 4 sec....... :chevy

Re: 2005 Z06 (BlackZ06)
"appearance and performance gap between it and its more sedate bretheren will be far more dramatic than is the case today" and I wonder how much all this will cost?
You can guess that a nicely optioned C6 coupe (Z51-MN6) will aproach $55K for starters I can guess the C6 Z06 will exceed $60 large.
That's too rich for me.

I have not read anywhere that the base Z06 will produce the numbers indicated in this post. All of those numbers have been attributed to the Super Vette aka Blue Devil.
It will be interesting to see what turns out to be correct.

Re: 2005 Z06 (BlackZ06)
i apologize in advance for being a cynic, but why would a magazine like sportscar int'l have the inside scoop in the performance c6 before some of the bigger magazine players?
but still, i think the future looks very exciting
