So if I'm reading this right, does that mean the Z07/Blue Devil will get 700HP?? Interesting...I guess cost will determine whether the new Camaro and base Vettes get this engine. _____________________________ - 2003 R/T: COMP 400 Cam, MSD Wires, K&N CAI, Eibach Prokit, Tokico Blues, Hotchkis Tuning Sway Bars, Vibrant F/R Strut Bars, Unorthodox UDP, Maddog 72% STS, JonnyMopar Solid Shifter/Booger Bushings, Prothane MM's, Exel Speeds, Toyo PX4's, RB1 GPS System (in reply to DevilsReject) Post #: 2

Yep, Chevy has pushed the Z07 up to about 700hp, and I dont see a reason as to why the base model Corvette or Camaro couldnt recieve a de-tuned version of the Z07 motor. Bob Lutz already said he would drop the current Z06 motor into the Camaro to battle the Challenger, so I dont see a problem with it happening. Especially considering the GT500, which is a limited and expensive bloat of a Mustang. _____________________________ (in reply to 03neonRT) Post #: 3
