2009 Corvette SS
and then you could put 25k into the already built for boost V-8 motor and DESTROY the NA one...whats your point. I seriously HATE when people say ignorant crap like that.

So...Viper had 500 hp, Chevy makes a vette with 500, Ford makes a Mustang with 500 and now the new GT500KR with 540. Dodge makes a viper with 600, chevy makes a vette with 650, Dodge makes the new ACR Diamondback with 650....are these companies in a pi$$ing competition or what? lol
For 100K you will get a car that will out perform anything withing 5x that price range.... and lets not forget the current 06 is already in the 10s with just drag radials with 450whp stock.. imagine what this car will do and the fact that you can just dial in the boost, run a smaller pulley etc... should make take no effort to reach 700whp.

The GT-R will be competing against the the 2008 c6 z51 i.e. 435bhp(more whp and much lighter) with a track tuned suspension and other support. The new ls3 with basic bolt ons will be seeing close to 500whp with just a cam, headers, intake and intake manifold (people are already changing their ls2 to ls3 specs for this added power). NA power is better then FI power anyday... and there is the superior weight and aerodynamics. What will the factory top speed of the GTR be? 2008 z51 should be 190+mph top speed from the factory... plus lets not forget, you can mod the vette for 1/5 the price of the GTR... lets see, full wide body conversion, with huge wheels and 06 brakes will only run you about $4500. The GT-R has no chance at touching the z06 or SS.. they are both laughing.

Just remembering.. the LS3 is already rumored to be 6.2 liters..and with the newly designed intake manifold, the 435bhp(425 for the base) the 2008 z51 is rumored to make the car is still leaving alot of power on the table.. The header very simplistic header design is easy to switch out to make big power by going with long tubes... essentially a ls3 with forged internals and supercharger would be great for this car.... seems like thats the current engine guess?
