Default C6 Z51+???

GM is giving C6 owners the chance to have a nearly as racy experience as the sixth generation Z06 owners will have in the near future; all this, on top of having few of the drawbacks. A C6 targa top was seen touting Z06 wheels; which needed a prodruding rear arch to house the massive 315's, brakes, and suspension moving through Brighton, MI

the exhaust is definately reworked with this package as well, as it boasts a louder, and deeper rumble then the mighty 427 CID packs at low RMPs,(read, still likely to be the 6.0 liter LS2) and likely less required thorttle vs. noise. i presume that this may include a reworked intake, exhaust, and ECU... likley to bump power output above a C5 Z06.

this looks like it will give C6 owners to just lightly upgrade, rather then open up thier pocket books yet again while turning in a used C6 at a depreciated value. Some 'vette enthusiasts might even say that they prefer this meathod, as they love sporting the targa top, rather then a more racy fixed roof. This may also annoy future Z06 owners to some degree, degrading thier 'top of the line' corvette; however, i suggest the benefits outweigh the means.
