I have a feeling it will not be 80k. I could see it being around 50k.

The turbo version is rated around 400 HP which is lower than the base corvette's HP now. No way they will sell the 400HP corvette for 80k when they can just buy a older Z06 for the less by then and have more power.

This is interesting but seems strange that GM will do this with the corvette. I am sure the old school v8 guys don't like this at all.

Lemers · 06-03-2011, 11:38 PM

If you can't beat them join them? I just hope that GM doesn't price the vette up there with the exotics that they are trying to copy with this one.

Mr.Squeeze · 06-03-2011, 11:53 PM

I doubt they will price it up there with the exotics not a base vette anyway.

Brazilbro · 06-04-2011, 01:14 AM

One screamer for me please.. 6speed. I've always liked the look the the vette but I'm just not a fan of the big v8's.. This I could go for!

Lemers · 06-04-2011, 01:36 AM

Think GM will offer this new engine as a crate engine.

don't they always offer there LS* as a crate?

Lemers · 06-04-2011, 06:30 PM

Seeing that it's a smaller v8 w/ turbo it might not be an LS engine.

A V8 built for boost this sounds great I wonder how much power you will be able to put down with a tune and some simple bolt on mods on that stock turbo =) wait im one of those guys that did not bother to read completely did they happen to mention what
brand/size turbo they are going with?
