Where did you get those pictures from?

Looks amazing, and should now challenge the likes of Ferrari, and Lamborghini. They should make a 600+ bhp version of it, then we could see an American supercar at the top, above Saleen, or SSC.

The latest rumours indicate the price of about 70K USD.

again to much damn $ the reason i called it a viper killer was because i thought it was going to cost significantly less

It might be a viper killer regardless of its price as rumours also say it could be actually far more powerful than stated.

Those particular pictures came from sub300.com.

Indeed, they could have had the same power with a smaller engine, I think the 7.0 liter thing is more for the sake of tradition - that and I'm sure they feel the heat from the 8.3 liter Viper. That 3.8 second 0-60 and 200 top speed seems maybe a tad optimistic though.

A $70,000 price tag takes the fun out of it though. It's really something to be pissed off about, because they're not helping to make the ZO6 available to " the people " with that 70k crap. The spirit of Corvette - ZO6 or not, is all about the people's sports car.

Yeah, rumors say that it might actually be a 7l 900bhp engine, that would be insane, I certainly would buy this car. With 900bhp and only 3000lbs, it should go at least 220 mph. Drag coefficient is only .28.
