Can someone confirm this Z06 info.
Next Z06 has a 6.3 liter LS6 derived engine, 24 valve pushrod running 500 hp @ 7,000 rpm?
This is from Motor Trend, so I'm curious as to if anyone else has heard this elsewhere.
(in case you're curious, that's around 391 cubic inches)

The displacement is the question.
I've heard some reports that GM is sticking to the LS6 block and no stroking so 5.7L. I've also heard the 6.3L rumors but those are from less credable sources. I'd bet on a 24 OHV setup though.
I'm fairly certain now contrary to what I beleived earlier that the C6 Z06 will have 500hp.

500 HP seems so unrealistic for a 'Vette in the next 2 years. I'm thinking 450 - 475 HP rating maximum. Why would they up the rating 100 HP in two years when they can get the same or even more sales in the long run by upping the HP rating little by little each year?

The latest Ive been getting on C6 powertrain rumors is:
"LS2" 6.0l 425hp.
"LS7" 6.0l 475-500hp for MY2006.
I don't have anything close to a firm lock on those figures, but a few of the places I get some info do not disagree with it... not sure how to take that.
