They have been saying all year that next years base C6 will be 430ish bhp and the Blue Devil you mentioned will be a monster. The C6 Z06 is more than enough to kill yourself and others on the street. We've all seen the pics of wrecked exotics...we'll start to see more deaths when supercars are more attainable by a broader audience.

It's difficult to beat an LS2 'Vette now, even with the PROcede; I'm happy beating Porsches, Audis, SRT-8s, GTOs, E46 M3s, G35s, etc.

Im not a huge fan of corvette interiors but since I foundout about the SS/Blue Devil I have seriously been thinking i might have to sell the BMW and jump ship. 650hp from the factory... add a few mods and 700hp is likely. Damn that thing will be insane... lambo... ferrarri...bugatti here I come. Well maybe not bugatti but ya.

I have the AA Xede and me and a stock vette went from about 30-90 and I never dropped back an inch from him but I also never gained an inch either . BTW, this was the first day after having the Xede installed. Mike.
