Geeseman Donating Members 1,805 Member For: 21y 4m 14d Location: Sydney Posted 27/06/07 05:31 AM Share Posted 27/06/07 05:31 AM (edited) Just dropped into to the newsagency had a quick read, 7.0ltr engine. No details on body but will reportedly using some of the corvette gear eg. drivetrainAPS have developed a twin turbo kit for the LS7 engine that will be in this car. It's for the US corvette. With twin 600hp turbos it should make 600-700 hp out of the stock engine, perhaps more.http://www.airpowersystems.com.au/corvette/z06.htm Edited 27/06/07 05:33 AM by Geeseman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F6_Tornado F6+300+ Member 940 Member For: 20y 4m 5d Location: In The Ute Posted 27/06/07 05:54 AM Share Posted 27/06/07 05:54 AM We're screwed.I suppose it’s not bad for $120k but then again that’s only 290rwks. My Ute made 330rwks with Injectors, Exhaust and edit so for a couple of grand ontop of the purchase price of an F6 you would blow it away!!! Then if you were to spend the other $50k left over I’m sure you could do a Simon and have her pumping out 540rwkws and still take a trip around the world with spending money.I think Ill stick to my F6 thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tquarrell Member 181 Member For: 20y 7m 10d Gender: Male Location: Sydney, NSW Posted 27/06/07 05:57 AM Share Posted 27/06/07 05:57 AM That sounds awesome. I know this engine in the current z06 (1450kg but) does mid to low 11's stock. Wouldn't be surprised to see the Late model camira do low 12's to high 11's. As for ford, they've got the supercharged 5.4 (as fitted to the GT 500 Mustang and GT40) sitting on the shelf if they want it. It has 373kw in the mustang and over 400 in the GT40.But at $120k, there won't be much of a market for it I would have thought. Chances are ford aus won't bother I guess. But I'd love to see a hipo typhoon released, which should be able to match it at a far lower cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love ford to bring out something crazy....maybe a gt-ho....knocking on the door of 400kws and doing the name sake proud...even if it is only a limited run of 50, least we would still have a bragging car...ha ha....I would like to be able to say a stock ford blows the doors off a Expensive Daewoo with out having to mod it....regardless of the fact that a Late model camira cost 50k more...would still like a 70k ford to waste a 120k holden...I wonder if they'll paint them that poxy yellow like the old vr-vs gtsr's?and have those ridiculous wings lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
