    Default C6 Z06s hit the ground... and DYNO

    Well, it looks liek the 1st ones are showing up.. LG up there in DFW is already taking one apart.

    Frikken put down 442rwhp with about 55miles on the motor. talk about a break in!

    They're saying easy 500 with minor adjustments to inatke/exhaust and ECU. That's insane!

    442 at the wheels? Wow! Sounds like 505 is a pretty conservative factory estimate. If I suddenly came into $65,000, I must admit it would be a tough choice between this and the Cayman.

    A Chevrolet or a Porsche. Hmmmm....

    Surely you, Miata Boy, aren't claiming that raw horsepower is the sole determinant of a sports car's worth??

    no, not at all... but it's not like it's a high HP number in a Lightning or something... It's definately a track beast. So what if the engine is in the front not the middle :)
