Well, I for one will be buying one, in 2007. It will be black and I will have to tint the windows and black out the wheels. Maybe just a polished lip... The other thing that makes it is the photoshop put the rear window surround on the outside. It looks soooo much better like that. It looks like armor plating. Also, it will have to be twin-turbo'd. I would be doing the car a disservice not to. Also, it's got to be lowered. So, I have to sell my 2nd home... I'll make the vette my second home. Hell, who would want to get out of it once you're in it? 
How are us normal guys going to afford this beauty?

IMO, its a cam swap, 1-7/8 LT, and tuning away from being a real bad hombre - especially in a 3100lb car. What I'm really excited about, though, is to see how the LS7 crate motors do. I've been holding off further engine mods on my Camaro just to see where they price these things.

Once Modified Just think of the stock Z06 427ci being modified, Ported heads/cam and headers etc. It will then run over most regular modified C6's...
Mine will be modified for sure but a street warrior only!!!!

For the C6, I'd probably do heads/cam/turbo. Easily 600+ rwhp (700 crank)

I am saving up for one. I am going to wait to the 2nd year of production though...I am building a 403 ls2 for my 02. It will be fun to race the new ones with my old "slow" car. I am shooting for 530 rwhp so I do not think they will run away from me on the road courses. I will modify mine when I get it. 1st you have to lower them about 3/4 inch. Long tube headers and lighter weight mufflers. Better brake pads. Forged pistons and port matching and cleanup of ports and throttle body and bigger cam. Tuner software when available...then I will have one sick car...something to dream about.
I want
