Moderators - Can we leave this here for the Tech guys. Many of us have an interest in the LS7 engine as a future mod.

No pics of the FRC?

I'm going to go out on a limb and call

after looking at some of the photochopped shots of a Tiburon elsewhere on that site (which looks nice BTW). Nice pics of his girlfriend also.

He likes to take pictures, that's for sure (shoes, bubblewrap, sunburn, brooms, noses, animal crackers).

If the LS7 is, in fact, a 427, I can't wait to see how they feed that beast. Maybe some better heads and intake from Chebby without a big aftermarket price tag.

Who said it isn't an FRC? IMO you can't tell from these pics. I haven't seen the others mentioned in this thread. I do remember someone quoting Dave Hill that "as long as I'm in charge, the Z06 will be an FRC". Maybe that was B.S. I hope not, because I probably wouldn't buy one if it wasn't (assuming I had the $$, of course!

)

Too bad they still have the CRUMMY seats the C5 Z06 has.

They need to take a lesson from a 1990 ZR1.

Dave Hill has said a lot of things - don't always believe him though.

Well, if it's based off the C6 coupe, and the top is not removable, then it sounds like a Fixed Roof Coupe. I guess Dave was right. No one said a FRC had to have the chopped off C5 Z06 look.

Brembos????

no they want brakes wont brake the bank . No wait the Brembos on the CTSv were PBRs badged as Brembos. Happens all the time in big business. One comapany contracts with an other to make the first companies product.

PBR 6-pistion front and 4-pistion rear brakes - same maker as the current Corvette brakes.

The good news would be that shortly, a few months those 6-pistion Big PBR corvette brakes should be avalile and with out a big price tag.
