What's the price tag on one of those? Hope for 60k. Considering a Z51 equipped C6 is about 54k I hope it's not too much more then 60.

zeitgeist57 Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 Not much of a spoiler, but with the C6, and the new LS2 GTO, The Cadillac CTS-V will have 6.0L LS2 power for 2006. Hey, it's high on my "want" list! smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Spyder550 Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Originally posted by Mallard: I also have heard GM may have something else 'top secret' there..anyone... Rumors are floating around that the new C6R graemlins/nod.gif will be at Detroit alongside the Z06 to demonstrate the similarities (at least styling) between the production and the racing cars. See spy shot HERE In addition, I believe that the actual HP rating is 512 for the Z06. Still unsure of engine size, most claim 7.0 litres, others 6.3 or 6.4... Also, the 625HP "Blue Devil" Corvette graemlins/nod.gif is currently under development, but I don't know of release dates... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TurboBen Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 That Z06 is pretty bad. I wonder what the real car will look like, since that's a photochopped pic of the real thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what the real car will look like, since that's a photochopped pic of the real thing.Apparently, that is a GM rendering of a Z06, so not a real car, nor a photochop of one, either. The image has been ordered to be removed from many websites by GM including Z06vettes.com and digitalcorvettes.com, but the leak is so far gone now, it's out. The real thing? Some speculate a purposeful leak of a false rendering by GM to generate feedback on specialist forums such as the above, but I don't think I buy the conspiracy theories. We'll know soon enough, though. In addition, from good authority, that rendering is very close to the actual car, with the front end being "dead on." However, it is stated that the color hides the aggressiveness of the body lines, and the most appropriate description is "a C6 on massive steriods." graemlins/nod.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engine size was almost definatively proven to be 7.0L with the spy shots of the Speed World Challenge CTS-V engines. There have been two leaked engine sizes and there is a good reason for that, but take the newest evidence into account. Also, last I heard the Blue Devil was cancelled.

And in the same post, confirmation of 7.0L... I did see the spy pics of the CTS-V engine, but didn't want to jump to conclusions as C5R also had 7.0, but production had 5.7. I'm damn pleased on both fronts graemlins/nod.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
