Something else to remember about the $100k price tag is that the rest of the car will reflect this additional expense.
Unlike Ford that adds more fat along with the more power, GM is actually cutting the fat and making sure the car comes in as a leaner, meaner, trimmer version of the base corvette and I've read somewhere that this migh tbe the first vette in a long time weighing less than 3000lbs. Look at all the exotics and see how much they weigh. GM is definitely on the right track and hopefully they will do the same with the camaro. Keep the weight down to 3400 or less and all that extra power will make things fun.

It is rumored to use the TVS rotors, but with an inverted design with the blower in the valley, and the intercooler on top of the blower. Magnachargers design using TVS core does not appear to use the same setup. Also, some believe the blower will most likely only work with L92/LS3 style heads.

I wonder why they didnt put long tube headers on the ls7 or ls9. They designed new manifolds specifically for these motors but theyre shorties. Seems like if they were trying to get every bit of power out of these motors they would use longer primaries. After all look at what they spent on ti rods.

Not everyone lives in states where you can do whatever the f*** you want to your powertrain abd get away with it (but we wish we did!).
