Viper-killer C6 Corvette Confirmed

... and the Ford GT is in for an a$$-whipping too.

Company "X" is working on part "Y" for the engine.

Stand by for more as I can.

could company X be Cosworth or Lotus? Or maybe that guy.....Jim Fueling? (not sure if the name is right---he built up those Areo-tec quad 4 engines)

Would Mr. Lutz's "suck the doors off" statement not also be confirmation?!?

Yup.

The difference between Mr. Lutz SAYING it, and me WRITING this is that I've seen some of the actual PARTS involved now.

While we all trust Mr. Lutz, the rubber hits the road when the supply base starts making the tooling necessary to manufacture the parts required.

Were I a low flying bird... I would stay well away from this machine due to the fact that I might get my a$$ sucked into it.

Again...

A better Corvette means a better Camaro.

I would have to say a bird will get sucked through sixteen intake valves instead of eight.

Jim Feuling died last year. I think he left a company going in his name, but without the wizard at the helm I wouldn't expect much out of it.

Guys, "Company X" is NOT an "aftermarket" company. The C6's newly aquired abilities will be through the Chevrolet showroom.

Remember, there are a whole lot of things on your car (this includes the engine) that is engineered and made by outside sources!
