2006 c6 ls3 - 975 hp
Local dealer to me just listed this 2006 C6.
------------------------------------------------------------
NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART.2006 Z51, VELOCITY YELLOW TINT COAT, PROCHARGED 975 HP. LS3 417 MOTOR BUILT BY VETTE DOCTORS
TRICKFLOW HEADS WITH FERREA VALVES & .650+ LIFT SPRINGS
WISECO FORGED PISTONS COATED DOME & SKIRT W/STAINLESS TOP RING. CALLIES FORGED RODS & CRANK. COATED BEARINGS.
CUSTOM MODIFIED D1SC PROCHARGER SET TO 15LBS. BOOST @ 6,000 RPM.
CUSTOM SNOW METHANOL INJECTION SYSTEM. AND MUCH MUCH MORE.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Sounds like they pulled the original LS2 and put a heavily re-wroked and supercharged LS3 in there. It seems that 975hp out of such a setup is not even close to possible.
I feel like emailing the dealer (who I have done business with before) and asking for the dyno sheet.
Comments?

car has aftermarket fuel system on it... but I'm sure the stock fuel rail is limited to 800hp? Looks like there's a meth on it as well.. run flats 
good luck getting past 4k rpm in any gear with that car.. O and I'm sure you mean 418 not 417ci

A stroker LS3 could be 416, 417 or even 418 I believe, hard to actually pin it down exactly.
Either way the thread title is a little misleading because it's not really a true LS3 anymore anyway (stock LS3s have don't have forged internals and are 376ci or so of course
).

We're not supposed to list the URL (among other things) of Non-supporting vendors.

Members are not prohibited from mentioning it when they have a good (or bad, for that matter) experience with a non-supporting vendor. But such mentions cannot be so specific (address, phone number, e-mail address, URL, price, part number, offer to send contact information via PMs, etc.) or so frequent that they become marketing and promotional references.

If I am reading the rules correctly I can post the link to this vehicle as it sits on EBAY from this very same dealer?
from the rules:
"...We have always allowed eBay links when they were used to point people toward an interesting or amusing sale. So, for now, the rule prohibiting links to eBay and other auction sites will be rescinded and we’ll monitor the situation to see how it evolves..."

My apologies, but not quite sure how this is a vendor posting. I interpreted this as a link to an interesting C6/ non typical vehicle. 975HP

The eBay rule you're quoting has nothing to do with the current situation. The rule you're quoting allows you to list your own car on eBay, even if it's up for bid. It does not allow you to post a URL to a commercial business.

I SERIOUSLY doubt there is no intercooler...I'm sure there's an intercooler and a dual-nozzle meth setup if it's making close to 1000 hp.

Having seen the ad, the car in question has an aftermarket fuel system, and I'd bet a decent cam, too, so between the cubes, D1sc blower @ 15lbs, meth, etc., there's no reason to doubt that it isn't putting down over 800rwhp, IMHO.
