Did you just hear that huge noise? That was the sound of most of the C6Z owners putting their cars on autotrader so they can buy the "best of the best" Corvette for bragging rights. lol

Don't laugh, it happened in 2002 also

Will they quit already!!!!!!!!
Its hard enough to compete now when I'm driving a car powered by a little 346.

j/k, I'm glad to see GM finnally going FI on a non deisel V8. Now they just need to put it in a Camaro and make it AFFORDABLE.

if they are cooling that supercharger with the engine coolant then thats not gonna do any good in my opinion. Same diff with a tb bypass. If it has its own supply of water then great!

looks cool but I am not digging the engine cover. I wonder if they will color match the engine cover to the car.... or will they all be blue like that one. I have a feeling they will just be black or red

It will serve its purpose! It will give the aftermarket companies something new to sell, a water reservoir/intercooler up front...

Looks badass

It will have its own separate coolant reservoir, pump, and heat exchanger. Just like a Magnacharger does. It is an air/water intercooler system to cool the air, not something to keep the supercharger cool.
