That's pretty cool. I think it's time for a cam and cylinder head swap for me just to keep up.

The article mentioned Roadster? Is it just for the Vert or the Coupe as well?

Does this mean that the Z06 is in for more power as well? I'm not referring to the SS model.

What would NADER say if it was vert only

I am sure the Z will get a similar bump also.

edit

No increase in Z so I eat my words

I love the automatics, especially the paddle shifted 6 speeds (in concept only, I have never had the chance to drive one). When might we get an automatically shifted manual, like the M3 smg? That would be the best of both worlds for me.

I think in 3-4 years clutches will be in trucks only
