Yea my friend was telling me the motor specs.

Does anything seem out of place in this list:

Aluminum engine block with 104.8-mm bores and pressed-in liners (lightweight)
Forged steel crankshaft with 101.6-mm stroke (strong)
6-bolt, forged steel main bearing caps (strong)
Titanium connecting rods (very strong, high reving rods)
Racing-derived CNC-ported aluminum cylinder heads with 70-cc chambers (saweet)
56mm titanium intake valves (nice)
41mm sodium-filled exhaust valves (cool)
Cast aluminum flat-top pistons (wtf?)

That new Z06 is NICE! 427 motor from the factory... The crate motor will be for sale in fall 2005

Though what's even more interesting... w/the Advent of the LS2 now... for 4000 bux it's possible to build the bottom end of a 408 ... (SDPC2000.com ... dealership down south, put a deal together for under 4G for a 408)


Oh and the one w/the wing is prolly their race version... would be interesting to see if they have a C6R motor in it yet

I WILL own one of those by 2010! And thats a promise.

That's shweeeeeeet! (wipes off keyboard from drool) The weight ratio on that thing is awesome, anyone know how much thats going to go for??? I'm guessing in the 60 range somewhere?

lol... looks like GM's a bit peeved

And those prices are what I've heard too... high 60s low 70s definetly not to hit 80 ...

It'll be an expensive car... but not that bad considering the normal C6's dyno as high as stock C5 Z06's and have more area under the curve ...
