And if you have to ask the price, you can't afford it.

I'm going to be the first to say it.

They increased displacement by 1.2L, and did a whole lot of other performance modifications, and it has only 600 HP and 600 lb./ft. of torque? Sounds like it's got a lot more potential than that.

Who took those pictures in the gallery. Not one decent full shot of the car in ten pages...

Ok, roughly three decent full body shots of the car in ten pages. But the crappiness of rest offsets them.

The whole super close up weird dramatic angle shot is not nearly as easy as some make it seem.

Katech Performance has developed an 8.2L, 500ci engine specifically for the Pratt & Miller C6RS. The C6RS engine is the only naturally aspirated, 600 horsepower, 600 lbs.-ft. torque engine available for the Corvette. An exclusive Dart billet cylinder case with Katech specified features allows a 4.500” stroke while improving material strength over cast production blocks. With no liners, the Nicom spray bore reduces friction and improves heat transfer to better cool the cylinders. An all-forged rotating assembly replaces an LS7’s components with higher strength materials. LS7 heads, valvetrain and dry sump round out the package.

Did you see the RPM?
600hp@ ONLY 5800
6200RPM redline
11.0:1 compression ratio
What did they do? Put stock Z06 heads and cam in there?
Piston speed at redline is 4650 feet per minute which is pretty high up there. Stock LS7 is 4666.67.

I wonder what the weight is on that thing?

Other than the cluttered background, poor lighting, and bad angles, I don't see the issue.

I can... croped incorrectly, poor use of DOF, probably shoot with a point-and-shoot. I hope they didn't pay for those pictures. They need to hire a better photographer... I offer my services... as long as i get to drive it once. lol

Back on topic.. BAD *** VETTE!

Pratt&Miller is building a ultra-limited run of these supercars beginning in April 2008 - like maybe 25 tops

What's the price going to be? If I had to guess I'd say a quarter million... easy.
