435 is only 370 or so at the rear wheels. Easily doable for them.

I personally don't like the FRC business tho.

Hats off to the open roof peeps

:cheers:

Sorry - I wish I knew what they were as the A/F Metter was broken at the time on the Dynometer :mad

I will try again soon and see what they are.. as I do have a MAF (shoudnt need it right now) and will apply it when needed..

Take Care,

BP

DCKronkite,
Your comment on Vipers not being able to turn is soooo far from the truth.
I just went from a C5 to a Viper ACR, and let me tell you this thing definately
turns. I am extremely loyal to the Vette and I dont buy in to that Viper vs Vette "which is better" BS. I just love cars and had to comment on your statment.
Amen Brother :yesnod: By the way were you able to sell your vert? Enjoy your new ride :cheers:

I talked to 3 dealers in the last week and they all confirmed: 03 Z06 = 435 HP.

Please... the dealers are about the best source of misinformation about upcoming Corvette models you can find. I wouldn't believe a thing they tell you.

All this horsepower "talk" makes me want to go out and drive my lowly 350 HP '02 Coupe, 3:15 rear. Which is still fast enough to get me into a lot of trouble. :yesnod: There will be a bump in Z06 HP for '03. If not, why would an '02 owner want to "trade" up. How much of a bump? Who knows, who cares? Not a fan of FRCs if it had 1,000HP.

OK, I may be going way out on a limb here, but shouldn't Z06 info be in the Z06 section? Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the Z06 but when I want to find out info on it, I simply go to that section.

..........While I think the Viper GTS's are somewhat unattractive, especially compared to the C5's beautiful lines, they do handle well. Case in point, the last Autocross I went to a friend in his 2000 GTS beat all of the Z06's (which were modified with engine and tire upgrades), and his Viper was stock........The only car that turned a better lap time was a race modified vette (not street legal)
