I don't see that the extra 95 hp is going to make the up big gap between them right now. If anything they may be even....but I still think that the vette will take it.
There is like a 6-8 mph difference in the quarter mile....easy.......and that is a lot for 95 hp to make up.

At least GM is putting it on a 6.2 liter, instead of a panzy *** 4.6

The new "LSx" block (i think to be released in february?) is supposedly good to 511 cubes.

GM already has developed a LSX block capable of 511 ci/8.3 L small block. It will be available for purchase March of 07 I believe. Maybe this new block will become part of the Vett's future?

I should have elaborated on my earlier post of the Enzo-beating horsepower rating of the new Corvette SS:

Rumors have swirled about the car bowing at the North American International Auto Show in January, but it appears now that it will be launched later as a 2008 model. Production of the SS will be limited and it's expected to carry a sticker price of about $100,000.

The competition for the Corvette will need to be CGT'S, SLR'S, Enzo's, etc.
