Quite a nice car. The only problem that I forsee is paying for it..

Anyone know if the 427ci version of the LS2 (called LS7) engine has hydraulically variable cam timing similar to that of the Lexus(Toyota) 3.3L V6?

Corvettes in general usually get pretty good gas mileage compared to other sports/exotic cars.

As for the price, a regular C6 Vette is around $75,000. The ZO6 version should be less then $100,000. A much better and faster bargain compared to a $120,000 NSX or a $150,000 911. Both of which a regular C6 will smoke.

0-60 in less then 4 seconds and an 11 second 1/4 according to the article I read. Wow!
