Did you guys see the FORGED piston comment (vs the cast we initially heard due to the "slap" issue).

Could be a screw up, but they are writing the article based on what GM gave them in the press kit!

The thing that surprised me was the six/four brake pads. This is huge and should help to bring down this beast from 60 in about 95 feet. Just my guess.

I think the SRT-10 holds the record for braking form 60-0, 97 feet Hopefully the new Z will outbrake it..

Sounds awesome, and I like the $62.5k estimate... but what is up with the HP drop off above 6200 rpm? It drops from 500->400 hp in 1000 rpm. Maybe it's hitting a wall as far as flow capacity? hmmm..
