This guy that told me, actually RODE in the prototype...
He did confirm he was 650.
Actually his comment was... if this has 650, I cannot imagine what it would be like to ride in yours.. LOL
EDIT: Ahh whatever.. no names involved so... He said it looked like an EATON on there. He said the car was VERY badass.. I will ask him if it is the black on that is right there. No sense in acting like I have a secret that is national security or anything.

<<production of the 2009 model to start in early 2008.>>
With a year+ until it goes into production, who knows what it will look and sound like. They could snap equally good pictures in front of A&A Corvette, although the cars would sound a little more raspy.

Lets see ifthe put real brakes on it! So now the public has a car with HP like the C6R and crumby suspenin and brakes probably. Hope I am wrong. I see these piling up at track events for sure

I heard...
Hey guys this is just what I heard, but the new ZO6 engine will not pass EPA's new requirements in 2008, so the only way to get 550+ ponies and still meet "new production" requirements is to no longer go naturally aspirated....hense a forced air system...."the blower"
This is what i heard..can anyone confirm this???
Either way 600+ ponies....SWEET...

CFOT Attention Whore
definately badazz. but by the time it actually rolls out, you could pick up an '06 or '07 Z and tweet the crap out of it and have change left over.
