Both Car and Driver and Motor Trend magazinds are projecting the price in the 65/67 K range. C/D was real emphatic about GM not making the mistake of overpricing it like they did with the ZR1 back in the early 90's.
That's a bargain on today's world of automobiles. At those prices they'll sell everyone they make and with people demanding more. I love the "over 3,500 rpms a vacuum switch opens the exhaust" feature. My old 70 Ram Air IV GTO had a factory cut out on it. Just pull the knob and the mufflers got bypassed and just went through the resonators in the rear. On the new Vette just have to figure out how to bypass that vacuum switch and keep it open all the time. :D :D |

Ed: the 400 hp LS2 is the base engine for the 2005 Corvette which you can buy TODAY. The ZO6 is a specialized version with a different frame (lighter, stronger) and the 7.0 liter LS7 and will be built in limited quantitiies. The LS7 engines are assembled in Wixom, MI at a new GM engine facility that was built especially for this and the STS-V engine. This is just down the road from Sterling engines BTW. Wannabe |
