Plus I think I'd be ok with strapping a blower on it once the aftermarket companies figure it out. That way I won't be spending Z06 money but I'll have the top end acceleration. But that is a long way off. I won't part with my ZL1 tho. That car has the best of everything. |

or wait for the Z06...the new rumor is it will have a 600hp NA motor in it or get a ZR1 which will have the 800hp twin turbo motor. Of course these are the latest rumors and no proof one way or the other.
I plan to wait and see if the ZL1 gets an upgrade or what the Z06 actually gets. I will trade my 18 Daytona 392 in for it and keep my 17 ZL1. I actually had considered a GT500, but no way would i give them the mark up on top of MSRP for it. Still would like to see its official specs

That is one thing I hate about GM. The engine code and trim level codes are way to similar sounding lol.

If you browse the GT500 forum of the other site, it seems like after the C8 announcement more than a few people were able to lock up a GT500 at MSRP. One guy even said early july his dealer said 20K over MSRP, called a week or so ago and said MSRP it is- take it for what it's worth. Quote:

Though out the summer I get together with all the car guys at all the various shows, I was talking to one of my friends who is a Car Mechanic we were talking about the C8 Vette and he brought up a point the I had not even considered. He went on to tell me how expensive it is to work on mid engine cars and that for even the most minor engine work the engine must come out of the car, he went on to say it would be one of the cars that get rid of as soon as it is no longer under warranty.
Just a thought on the new vette. |

Interesting...that's pretty close to what i had mentioned awhile back. I thought it will be a 11.1 sec car.

It's in the ball park I thought it would be. When everyone was getting excited that it was going to beat the Z06 and be in the 10s all you had to do was look at other mid engine cars and see the ones that were low 11s had similar HP and weight. The ones that were faster were either much lighter or much more power. |
