That's going to be a mean bugger.  It will nudge right up against the tuner Vette's from Lingenfelter, Mallett etc.  What do those mods cost for the basic upgrade?  What's the premium that this Corvette ask for over a regular Z06?  It's probably $30K over a Z06....what does that get at the tuner shops?

Oh yeah, the Blue Devil lives... a better Z06. I like what they did with it.
Added a supercharger, but made the car lighter. I just hope they improved the roof bonding process ;)

This will give you an idea. There is still another upgrade , but this one seems the most comparable and at a relatively good price. I always figured that the factory could do it better than anybody else and get it right. Any thoughts??

That's not how it will look. That's just a test-mule.

It's great to know a Corvette monster is being born.  >:D
