Nope, naturally aspirated V-10 muscle. Supercharge that, and about 70% of those who buy it are wrapped around a pole somewhere.

lol a lot of cars/trucks still utilize superchargers...but the majority of supercars out there that use power-adders use Turbos. The CCX, according to that Top Gear episode, is knocking on the bumper of the Veyron...and that's a quad turbo v12 lol.

you cant be serious

they made over 1000hp with.......22lbs of boost and race gas, I think. I'll have to double check that.

Yeah, heres a link to the site: http://www.turbofordgt.com/

and heres a Dyno graph. It DOUBLES its HP between 3800-4800rpm. From 500-1000, thats disgusting.

That is simply amazing! I would be scared to drive something like that lol.

But look how different that curve is compare to a "normal" GT....gone is the incredibly flat torque curve. Not that I guess it would matter with that much more power over stock lol.

I am serious... the new Z06 performs almost the same N/A and doesn't break front A-arms for 60+k less in cash. GT=joke.

Yeah that GT is disgustinging fast.

it may be a joke, but its a Ford and its faster than Chevy's shot at a Supercar. Salt in an open wound huh? *insert ford needs a supercharger comeback here* *insert GM has 97ci more comment here*

I wont argue about the Z06's price/performance value, its probably the best bang for your buck ever and Id have one if I could afford it. But face it, its still a Vette that can and will be mistaken for an LS2 C6 by your average Joe. People who can afford supercars are buying the exclusivness. If the GT's a joke, I guess all the cars it outperforms that cost twice as much are a joke too. Its a wonder Ferrari and Lambo keep making cars.
