Are you suggesting all other corvettes are not real because they are not ZO6’s?

No HP increases next year.
This week's Auto Week had an article that GM announced they will not increase HP on 2006 Corvettes of either model until they develope a new engine. The one they are using now is at its limit without having serious trouble. So the 505 C6 Z06 is as fast as Corvette will be providing for a while. They might creep up the C6 400 a little but not enough to challenge the Z06.

Just rumor. Probably comparing the Z06 to the coupe/vert.

Well, Rumor over at the Viper Forum is that next years Viper will have 600 HP...presumably to trump the awesome Z06.
No official announcement yet. But I could see why speculation on such things is going kookoo.
I think it's healthy and positive for both sport car companies to feel a little competition. Makes both developers more intent to make us the buyers fall in love with their creations.
Its all good me brothers!
