I'm guessing a 3.6L Turbo with at least 430HP as a base, but an optional 475HP 5.5L (set to debut at 12 Hours at Sebring next month) V8 in a GS type model. The Z06 as a "Stripper"/Track Ready vehicle, along the lines of the Porsche GT3 and Viper ACR... with a 550HP V8, and the ZR1 pushing 700HP.

I'm loving the idea. The more choices the better. On top of that... a lighter Vette, say at 2900-3000lbs, with a 430HP/430lbs could whip an LS3 powered Vette handily.



I can not dissagree with you for example nissan gtr 3.8 V-6 twin turbo which produce 485 h.p .it will smokes stock corvette c6,turbo is great idea for getting more hp from v6 engine to compare with v8 . But can you imagine vette without v-8 ,it wouldn`t be the vette,i love c6 and i hope the next one wouldn`t be worse than c6.

GTR also has AWD. If they put that in Vette's there really wouldn't be much left to stop them.

That's ok, you can launch a Corvette more then 20 times at a track, or whereever, at WOT, and still have a tranny in one piece at the end of the day.

Sorry bud.. but the Nissan GTR doesn't SMOKE even a base Vette, despite a 50HP advatage. It will beat it in some scenarios but only with the advantage of AWD and more power.

In the 1/4... the GS's 12.2 sec @ 117.0 mph vs the GT-R's 11.9 sec @ 120.1 mph. The Z06 kills it and the ZR1 kills it and "bangs it's wife and 20 year old daughter"

If the Vette had AWD it would certainly beat a GTR. Hell I'm betting if the Vette just loss the RUN-FLATS it would beat the GTR in the 1/4.
