Right, I knew that! My questions came from looking at the options available on the standard '05 Corvette.

ricky.agrawal: I find it to be more fun than hustling a 4000lb car around the track. Besides I used to have a dedicated Porsche 911 Carrera Cup race car and I'm spolied as a result of that experience.
Im not sure if i follow you but, are you asking if it will come with the Z51 Suspension, or Magnetic Ride suspension?

Whats your point?
chill lad, my point being is the current Z06 block stretched to the limit in terms of further engine tweaks

a blower wont be needed in future AMG models I read

'04 E55 AMG
The new Z06 looks great, IMO. That's probably the only new domestic car I'd consider buying. (I drive a 37 y/o domestic car to protest the injustices American car manufacturers have heaped upon us with their flawed, inferior, utterly un-creative products.)

Who told you the last Z06 was tweaked to its performance levels? There are many mods out there for it, Exhaust, Intake, Superchargers, Turbos, Headers, to many to really name.

Not to mention you can always bore and stroke it out. Alot of people have done that and made the 350 into a 381, or a 388, and some a 427.

no one told me, it was a question that I asked, and I wasnt talking about after market. I'll ask again, Can the current vette block be tuned further to give more horses without increasing capacity
