I know those cadillacs make 469hp with a 4.6 northstar and that blower so i dont think that 700 from a blown 6.2 would be too much of a stretch. The regular vette is going to stay na, not the 2010 zo6. They also said they were playing around with weight in different places to try and put all of the power to the ground.

No one On this site more than me would like to see GM do it without boost and shove it right up fords *** but please explain to me HOW IT IS POSSIBLE TO MAKE THOSE NUMBERS ALL MOTOR.....

If someone would like to take the time and explain it to me WITHOUT trying to bash me Id appreciate it...

Basically, micromanage every single component, and assembly tolerance, to defy those who said it can't be done. Also redlines at 8,300. Suspension, brakes, etc to match. So there is plenty of room left for the C7 Z06 @600 HP without getting very elaborate.

Here's another article about the C7, not sure of the date:

Another application of the LS7 600 HP motor in production - Hulme F1. Nice.
