10000 RPM Vette

h.p. figures seem modest at best. The arial atom V8 is a 3.0L without turbos making 500hp. Chevy usually makes big numbers with their engines.

it did say atleast 400bhp... so it could be much more. also, they may lower the price.. making it more affordable and more attractive to a "poorer" man's budget.

as far as if they offer a big v8 and a smaller turbo v8.. that just seems silly to me.. not finacially wise, nor from development stand point..
unless last years Big V8 is being offered as the "base" model... lol

I can't imagine them lowering the price much more. You can already pick up a vette for about the cost of a Z.

you can pick them up for 44 with no incentives all day. Of course, being a GM product, there are always at least 5 grand worth of incentives on them.

the atom is tuned a lot closer to the ragged edge. You'd never be able to run that car to the grocery store.

Also worth noting is the AA engine is supercharged....still FI.

I agree with the aggressive tune. But the base AA is supercharged. I believe the new V8 is a 3.0L NA engine.

I believe you are right in that the US spec model is NA, but I also think it "only" makes 469 hp. Still pretty impressive when you lay 150 hp/L, even if it is at 10.5k.
