chevy readying a 'vette based challenge the Ford GT

the story is here:

625hp from a supercharged 427???

i wonder how long it'll be before Dodge gets in on the act, and builds an even more potent viper?

Hell Yes.

We have Japanese supercars crossing the pond again, The GTO is back, 390hp Cobra's.....Every manufacturer needs a high hp trophy car in its stable.

We are truely living in a blessed time, my fellow enthusiasts.

However, one must remember history. Ex. the mid-late 60's times of muscle glory.

This cant last forever, so we better enjoy the hell out of it while we can :banana:

These horsepower wars are like the bloody Cuban Missle crisis.

The Corvette endurance teams have been running 7.0L (hmmm.....@427ci) versions of the LS-6 block for several years now. With all that development, it should be a real corker.
