a few...
the Z06 is absolute phenomenal. I haven't driven one yet but from what I have heard, you can't really beat it... at least not until you get way further up there in price.
I would really love to see a Viper/Z06 race whenever it happens.
I would guess a supercharger application would probably have to go through some real testing, unless GM is already on top of it with Blue Devil. I don't really know the specifics of the internals to an extent like some people but from what I can gather a supercharger system would have to run around 6-7 psi in order to be sustainable. It might be completely different which would be great but given the thin cylinder walls which are forged? (please correct me if I am wrong) but the engine is under good pressure as is but if you did the right setup you could get some good gains with such a high output, high displacement engine.
Either way, the new Z06 will be kickass.... to say the least.
