That is one badass car, how much are they going to sell them once they hit the market?

my bro told me it was 1500 at the crank but i looked it up and it said like around 600 to the wheels or something so i dont really know what to believe any more. My bro's hella wrong and crazy. if it really had 1500 hp and the crank about how much would get to the wheels?

A little over 1,000 @ the wheels, thats abt 30% driveline loss.

No matter what think about it, the Zo6 is what a $70k car that is Ls7 7.0L 505HP and wegihts 3000lbs or so. Now add a new motor making even more id bet the tag will be around or over $100k, FOR A CHEVY now that is insane. Then again Ford does have the GT
