Well lets see, idk, maybe cause a turbo would be capable of probably 800rwhp.

vette doctors is already over 630rwhp.

i doubt the stock pistons will like any amounts of boost.

wait for the LS9 if you want boost--suppoda be 650hp factory stock.

I've heard some say that anything over 800 hp is just asking for trouble. That might be where you'd want to swap in a FORD modular.

Looks like the combination of a Ford GT, Zo6, Saleen S7, and a Ferrari. Wow.

It was a C6 Z06. he had gotten it a few days earlier and was showing it off. That bastard.

was it so fast that the roof fell off?

seriosly the new ones are pieces of crap. there was a HUGE thread on a corvette forum about a guy who banged second and his roof shot off.

my best freind, who works at a body shop, has seen about 6 of the new ones at the shop from the decklids, roofs, etc just falling off.

i would still drive one though

Funny you mention that Kyle. Seems like they substituted any quality body construction for all performance. If you see a C6 driving down the road .... look at the rear bumper. You will notice that they jiggle back & forth because they are not structured properly.

Looks like there's some major build issues on the c6 z's...I'd be afraid to buy one from what's said in the various posts on that site.
