Thumbs up

First glance it kinda reminds me of the S2000... Although there is no comparison of the two

i agree but if the base model is gettin near 75hp gain i know the z06 is going to push 500hp easliy... rumor is they may go to the 426 block with ls6 type heads to run near 600hp?

Definatly looks nice, although I was hoping for a completly new design for the C6.

And I doubt the 427 will ever make it into any production Corvette. GM has said before that none of it's vehicles will ever fall into the "gas guzzler tax", and getting a 427 that effecient would be a tough chore. Although the 600+hp C5R 427 would be nice

the current cobra r is 3 years old, the current cobra has the same hp as the R

the mustang will never be on the same level as a vette tho
