Un-freaking-believable!
Dude... "C7 Vette will stick with a naturally aspirated V-8"

They aren't going to supercharge it according to this quote... A N/A engine would be cheaper anyway. Less moving parts, less extra stuff. My guess is that they may bump the displacement again and start using more C6R hardware to get this kind of power... If you can spin the engine a bit faster you can make power. If they do it though it will be the most powerful NA engine currently available in a production car!

700hp? You can't launch the CURRENT Z06 with 500hp! 700hp is going to make those tires melt into goooo!
