High Performance C7 model
We have the CAD image from Keeks from over 6 months ago (see below) showing a supercharged Gen V motor. I believe this provides VERY GOOD evidence that there will be a more expensive version of the C7 in the near future which will, indeed, out perform the C6 Z06.

Can't wait for the LT4 next year. The 2015 Z car should include options that cost thousands extra on LT1 cars

I admit I'm really pumped up about the 2015 supercharged model, it's great to see the LT4 picture posted again . That's why I'm one of the few here who ordered just a base 2014 model. The C7 won't be complete until the hot engine arrives. Why go half way?

Ain't no way a supercharged version of the LT1 is going to have more then a 50 horsepower increase over the base LT1. LOL Never going to happen. LOL Never has there been a supercharged engine that can increase the horsepower to such levels. LOL Oh....wait.....I seem to recall there are a few like the C6 ZR1, the Caddy CTS-V, the Camaro ZL1, the Ford GT and so on. Even the base LT1 is good for more horsepower than a C6 Z06...oh wait, it didn't come in at 525 HP like some were speculating....it was 455 horsepower., so maybe a supercharger will manage get it above 505 horsepower.
Yes, the supercharged version of the LT1 will have more horsepower than the C6 Z06 and this C6 Z06 owner has been saying that all along. it's nothing new to the current crop of C6 Z06 owners.
Nothing like the OP trying to pick a fight with the C6 Z06 owners. wasn't that the intention of this thread.......? LOL
Hell, I bet the supercharger on my Mercedes is good for another 10 horsepower. LOL
