Default 05 Z06 info in new motor trend!

In a "spy" section they have a picture. Article states: "...The ultimate C6 will get the same fast hatchback roofline as the standard Corvette, but will run wider tires on new 10-spoke whees and, of course, a 500 horsepower, 6.3-liter small block..."

Caption under the "spy" picture says:
"Z06 gets 500-horse, 6.3-liter LS2, plus suspension, brake, and tire upgrades. Fatter front fenders on this mule are new wide-track pieces..."

Thinkin I might need to replace my WS6!

MT is a month late and a $ short. First of all, it's going to be an '06 ZO6 and, second, if you want some "real" info check here:

Wow, tough crowd. But in reality the best idea is to just wait the month out and see what happens at the car show.

tough crowd indeed! I was just puttin out what they were sayin...know better than to think ANY magazine is always correct. Everything here says it's a 7L, they say 6.3L. Funny thing is, until the car is in production, I don't believe what the mag's OR info on this site says. I'll know better next time than to forward info that goes against those on this site!

Motor Trend is a good magazine, but I don't think they got this one right

I agree with ya buddy, I love MT (Car and Drive is hideous) and this is just one time where they made a mistake.. I am sure it will be addressed in their letters section.

I'm doubting it even more myself now that I've read the whole page... It has a picture of a adillac CTS with a hood scoop and fender flares, says its a "Cadillac CTS-v Super" and predicts a "515 hp supercharged LS2 or the rumored 600-plus-horsepower, 7.0-liter Corvette Blue Devil V-8"
A 7.0L Corvette Blue Devil V-8 in a Caddy and not a Corvette?

I'm definately back on with you guys that M/T probably has some bad or just plain wrong info hear! sorry for ever doubten ya!
