I want to see what that thing weighs. It looks to be a certainty that it will be under 3000 lbs.................although, I guess that depends on how much beefier the upgraded ZO6 parts are versus the regular C6, such as brake, suspention, engine components, ect. I can't wait to see it.

I project the weight to be 3050+ lbs.
I was wondering if they would make it 500 HP or something like 485. Recall that first editions Z06 boasted 385 HP, only a 35 HP increase over C5. Later it was upgraded to 405.
Looks like C6 Z06 will be one mean machine.

I think the 500 thing was pretty well known? Still no news of 3v heads or VVT technology.
Good news. Good to see that there are parts in GM that are alive with performance.

575+ will most definitely be reserved for the Blue Devil. 500 HP in a car weighing right around 3000 pounds is quite a lot to begin with....turbocharging that 427 would (will?) be insane!
