"Jim Queen, revealed in an interview with Motor Trend that the next-generation C7 Corvette will produce up to 700 naturally-aspirated horsepower in its top trim."

Re: 700 Hp C7!???
Hate to say it, but:
With the increasing amounts of hp, insurance companies, johnny do gooders, and government intervention, I'm afraid a crack down on the hp wars is coming.

No flames please...think about it.
Agreed. I think we may be lucky if GM still offers a 500HP version of the C7, and even then only if they figure out how to lighten the car, add DoD, Direct Injections, or other goodies to get the gas mileages at least into the low 30s. The 35MPG standard IS going to kill a lot of things. 700HP Corvettes is definitely one of them IMO.
how to grab. sssssssssssshocks. the new zr1 has adjustable, that changes weight front to back on launch, I purchased qa1 shocks, that do the same. go to youtube look at zo6 supercharged,im running 590 rear wheel my procharged,c6 shocks are key. have fun finding one under 130,000 after markup.

I know ZIP...my thoughts exactly! But could it be the w/the "Tree Hugger" crap coming down in the future that GM wants to do a "Last Hurah" and up the anti - so to speak...before it turns into the Late 70's all over again and the 2nd Muscle Car era is dead!!!??

Are these QA1 shocks automaticaly controlled? I can imagine you could manually set adjust them for a drag race, and then crawl up under the fender and manually adjust them back afterwards, but that would be a pain, compared to the ZR1's uber-magnaride setup

Paul, the QA1's aren't that difficult to adjust. Takes only a few minutes. Certainly not as easy as an automatically controlled arrangement, but still not a big problem.
