I think this car is a home run if you plan on leaving a vehicle stock. It has a ton of more usuable torque with the smaller supercharger. The 8 speed auto is going to be cool if it lives up to advertisment. I am worried about the reliablity of all this though as it took many years to make the LS block what it is. Numbers look great on this car though and it will be a hit IMO. The best Corvette is always the latest one.
I was hearing that the maxed out Z06 will not be too far north of 100K. Articles are stating Chevy won't vary far off the current C6 Z06 prices with base pricing estimated at 85K. I imagine that alot of the tech that is going on this car is going to be eventually shared, especially that 8 speed auto (ditching the 6sp one in the current C7).
