The Vette gets the thumbs up from me, no matter how stupid fast they get. I'll save my rivalry grit for the upcoming Camaro and Challenger.

RE: LS3 Dyno results
I heard that the new 'Vette will be heavier than the current C6's, thus negating *some* of that hp advantage. I read that on the Corvette forums.
I like the new hp increase. It helped be get my Z06 for $3500 off of sticker.

RE: LS3 Dyno results
The weight should be just fine. The new LS3 weighs about as much a the LS2. I think GM is trying to prepare for the 400hp M3 among other things.. Also the LS3 will be supercharged in GMs new super Vette. It will be pushing some 650hp. The new LS3 was built with strength in mind. It will be able to handle some alot of PSI. FI guys will love it.

Your off by a whopping 20K. The average Corvette coupe goes for 44K..options can take it up to..52K The Z06 starts at 70K..and can go up to 77K. Mexico is ripping you guys off.

I also heard in the forums that the torque curves are strikingly similar to the LS2s.

Well the dyno sheet that was posted on the link I put up seems to have the Tq curve climbing hard after 2500rpm's.....While an LS2 starts climbing hard lower in the power band.... But this is early in the game, when more dyno results are posted...and more importantly track times are gathered I'm sure this new LS won't disapoint.....With full bolt-ons/gears this car should be a solid mid to high 11 second runner!!! Thats close to C6Z territory..stock with a average driver of course!!! Allthough with the weight disadvantage and a crappier suspention my money is still on the Z..
