With the 05 GTO getting 400hp and 400torque, and the Srt Charger getting 425hp, I sure hope the vette gets a hp increase. Just imagine if the base Mustang GT gets a hp increase..damn. Sad day when base Mustang GT's and Dodges outrun my 05 vette. The HP wars are heating up big time!

Even in the event of higher hp ratings those cars all weigh more and are generally geared differently still leaving the C6 ahead in performance.

I wouldn't count on a C6 hp rating increase for 2006 though.
