I would agree, but the M15 is going to be more luxurious and less edgy than the M400 currently. The weight of the M400 would be a huge advantage but the Corvette would still have the Power to Weight Ratio won even though the Noble would probably still own it on a track. HOWEVER the Noble doesnt have service readily available and have been rumored to be maintenance nightmares. I would prefer the Noble, but for a track car, you have to have a tuner or tech available and the noble doesnt offer much of that access.

 

Actually, maintenance on the M400 is quite easy. It's a very simple car, and is extremely inexpensive to maintain.

 

Such accidents happen w/ these cars because for every true car enthusiast there are 10 guys who have more money than brains.

 

Definitely not a hoax, they are making this car. I cannot give out much more information because I'm working on the fuel delivery system for GM. There will be further changes other than the powerplant. I also do not see a way they could keep the price of this Z06 under $100k. Most everything is hand assembled.

 

We won't see the car til 2009.

I would really like to get my hands on one of these bad boyz!! Maybe santa will be good to me in a couple of years.

 

I am more interested in how the traction level will keep up with the increase in power. It will be a beast but you had better believe there will be used Z06's making more power for less money invested, so it will have to be a complete package that offers more than just power.

 

i am not sure if anyone has mentioned this(quickly browesed the responses), the supercharged z06 is NOT the current z06 427 motor with a blower. the new engine will be the new 6.2 motor with blower and the tremec 6060 6 speed tranny(this tranny will also be available on all 08 manual corvettes from what i have been told).

this past summer(06) the blown 6.2 put down 663rwhp in a gm mule vehicle. very similar to the spy photos that are out now. i dont believe gm will use this tune for thier stock vehicle but make no mistake it will be very easy to get 750-800 crank horsepower out of this beast!

also gm is planning a blowing a camaro too, to compete with the gt500. the preliminary rumors are 400+ hp for the n/a v8 and 550+hp for the s/c v8 camaro!

 

Why waiting this one, just get the first coming c6 zo6 and slap in the aps twinturbo on it, twin gt35, 620whp @ 5psi
love the fitting and quality of aps parts

 

the car is going to be released. without a doubt (hopefully) i couldnt justify spending that amount of money on a gm, although the shelby gt500's went for that much for the first 50 or so, it will be interesting to see how well the car puts power to the ground and resale value (especially if its going to be such a limited production car)

 

Are you all referring to the blue devil?
