We need a good twin turbo package with aluminum block preassembled from the likes of VT etc.

I'm talking straight line performance only.

the rumors about this car and motor have been very accurate for the past 6 months or so. yes gm is building a big blown v8 for thier top vette.

should we put this type of motor in a mustang no. sorry but i believe that a engine with this much horsepower stock should go into purpose built car designed and engineered to handle that much power in a straight line and in a corner. ford needs a 2 seat roadster/coupe!

 

[chuckstang]

that is awsome becasue the regular z06 price will go down!!!!! maybe...
hmmmmmm

$100,000.00 Corvette with a minimum ADM of say 25k initially? That's a lot of ching for a Corvette Mister! :dw:

op:

Yeah its a lot of ching, however if you look at it alot of dealers are asking 70-80k for the gt500, and then you have that one post of a dealer asking 125k... However 100k i think is a perfect price for this car given all it is suppose to do. All dealer mark ups are unreal, however 125k for a car that will beat ferraris, lambos, zondas and lots of others for 1/2 the price is an amazing deal.

However for 100k i'd much rather buy that audi R8.

And yes ford needs a nice 2 seater coupe/convert sports car, that would be awesome.
