2000 horsepower AND 40 mpg?

Oh dude I am so in. I'll just have to slap a quad turbo kit on there and it'll be good to go.

Car and Driver came the other day, (I hate that mag, it was free for a year) and they said that the Vette SS or blue devil is going to be called the Z07? I guess we will have to wait and see. Should be interesting. 1meantransam, your wrong, its 5790hp to the wheels and V-tec only comes on when you honk the horn 3 times in a row.

It won't even have an engine by 2030. All roads will rise up and cause you to go downhill everywhere you go.

There are only going to produce 2000 a year at $100k a pop. Not bad for a supercharged LS9 with a mostly carbon fiber body.
