You have to beat the Sky before you can step up to the big boy.
If my dad drove a 638hp car he would crash within one mile.:biglaugh:

nice! hot car! sounds like a factory cobra killer to me
I hope you dont expect to take down the srt4 tho lol
I myself dont know about the design, dont’ know if i like it yet, i do like the concept, however I don’t think you will see these blowers spinning anything like the Cobra boys do. Looks to me like its going to generate some heat if you try to do much more than stock and i dont see much of an intercooler to solve that. A big heat exchanger would gain you some but who knows. Then again they arent going to sell like the Cobra’s do, and the ‘old men’ (sorry derrick) that can afford to buy them won’t be modding them like i would like too i’m sure.
“Maximum boost pressure is 10.5 psi (0.72 bar). It is teamed with an integrated charge cooling system that reduces inlet air temperature for maximum performance.”
I see A LOT more Z06 vettes than I do cobra mustangs.

They wont have the chance to sell like the cobras, aren’t there only 1500 of these being made?
I think Paddock is getting one that they plan on selling on ebay

Its already done 205 MPH.
Looks like it hit 207 before they slowed down and that is with 2 people in the car + the equipment.I’m a little biased obviously but they said with the HP at 620 it should hit 210+ as the Z-06 did 197 or 8 with 505 HP.638hp,1 person, should hit 215.
I’m positive Paddock will get 1 and maybe even 2.I’ll be surprised if half of them don’t go on ebay.

I am sure Paddock, Basil and maybe Glen Campbell will be the only local Chevy dealers big enough to snatch a ZR1 or two
:awdrifter: Oroc secretly wants a certain Black Anniversary Kenne Bell Cobra from the sounds of it. :mamoru:
Selling cars on ebay is gay.
:tup: I like it!

I’m wondering what the aftermarket will look like for this.
High R&D with low volume will make for redic pricing.

Your point is? Were talking about the ZR1 not the Z06.
Tom just get your cobra already, by the time u mod it i’ll be ready to run trains on you and bladez in a 3 way
It’s not even really about how big you are, it’s about how many Vettes you sell.
Kerbeck or Stanford,which ever one is in Michigan is getting between 54-58 of them but they also sell something like 1,000 vettes a year.Where as Paddock is one of the top 3 chevy dealers in the World and will get a couple.
It’s posted on the Corvette forum that Ramp Chevrolet has a down payment on their first one for $225K selling price.I know many dealers are telling there people $175.
