The latest info is normally on digitalcorvettes.com When something new truely happens, it will be at DC. There isn't a ton of discussion, but always information. Corvetteforum in the C6 Z06 (and supervette) discussion is pretty good, but there is always a lot of "I heard this" and "I heard that", as opposed to DC where there is less speculating. Depends on what you like I guess.

Makes you wonder why they're having trouble getting 500hp. out of 7 Liters. After all, the 350 LT5 was ready to bump to 475hp. ten years ago.
I wonder what it would be putting out today, if it was still in development. HMmmmm, at 6 Liters (a good size), I would say, a smooth 525/500.

Exactly. A continued developing of the LT5 would have been magnificent. Not getting 500+hp out of a 7.0 liter would be pathetic.
And although I LOVE the old C4 look, the 230-240 hp from those cars was ridiculous. I want one, don't get me wrong, but it's not a sportcar. (1984 ad said 'the most advanced production car in the world' ha ha)
The L98 was a big step up from the L83, but still nothing to write home about. The LT5 was a revelation, a peek at the future. Too bad they killed it. Now lets see what they do with the LS7. Whether it will really be a 7.0L and 500+.

The ZR-1 Stays but what a pair it would be to have one of each

Will this replace the ZR-1? No. But I see the C5 Z06 becoming really inexpensive real soon.
