That sounds like a pretty stout motor. A perfect candidate for NOS. . .

Finally they put the 427 back into the Corvette.

After watching the Top Gear Video on the Corvette C6 I think they really need to get that Corvette more power.

Has been determined that this is not a photoshop. It came off the CD that GM gave out at the media-press day on Nov. 9th.

I'll take one in black!

Vettes have always been an affordable speed demon. The new C6 will be no exception. The previous Z06 with a few mods could take on a 911 Turbo with ease. Compare the $50k price of the Vette to the $110+ of the 911 and price is the clear winner.

Yes, they 're a performance bargain.Even the regular C6 vette has won 2 comparison tests against the 911 Carrera S so far I think.
