6 bolt main.

By the same motor i'm assuming you meant the block. A flat stock ford gt can get to 1000hp but you will blow the motor up if you run it hard. A lot has to be changed in the motor to make it reliable at 1000hp. I'm not attacking you, I am torn between a gt500 and the z28. But i am waiting to see what the z28 actually is before I buy anything.

@Napper, do you really think the Z is in a hard place? Seeing as it's been well publicized that there is no pecking order anymore and the V is in an entirely different category I have to respectfully disagree. Now the Z won't outperform the Z06(close, maybe??) or ZR1(cause it's too heavy) but I don't think it has to be slotted behind anything.

I don't think this car will be "restricted" by anything other than its price-point.

GM is doing a good job of differentiating its products lately. Catering similar offerings to completely different demographics.

I think most Z06 owners would love to have a reason to trade for a Z28.

Here's a video of what a stock (white) 2011 GT500 SVT PP can do with some proper drag tires. The grey GT500 is pullied with drag radials and 3.73's. Anyone that really thinks the 2011 GT500's are only capable of 12.7's are sadly mistaken.

No doubt about it, the GT500 is a fast car, and the '11s (MY and E.T both!) are quite kick ass. I hope that the Z (or the car that does not officially exist) has the 3.73 rear end ratio that the CTS-V uses.

both cars are cool and I give props to anything that is fast.

I don't know why so many people feel threatened by the GT500 LOL.

2011 GT500 with just drag rubber on the rear otherwise stock. 11.35 at 121 mph.
