I know that chevy is coming out with a new vette next year with a code name "Blue Devil". It will have 650 H.P. and in order to buy one you 1st have to complete a class that GM offers to qualify as a buyer. No passing the class no buying the car as Chevy believes people will get themselves killed if they don't know how to drive this beast.

Very reasonable.
This car looks to me better and better, and I love their politics related with power: no stupid restrictions. People at GM go forward and forward...not as many EU cars that only get "slight" improvements with a bit more of HP and more or less facelifts...at diamond prices!

You can always Ruf your 997TT to 650 bhp for the price of one Z06 .

It's going to be a very special car, that's for sure. I just asked my dealer about it and he doesn't even have a deposit for one yet! I bought my Z06 from him late last year at MSRP (he doesn't believe in asking over sticker - you need to be local and don't want to sell the car for a profit). I'm seriously contemplating buying one.
On another note, Callaway is developing a Magna Charger for the current Z06. It should also make about 650hp (emissions legal). They are the only one's developing it. Magna Charger sold the rights to Callaway for the development. They have the supercharger for the standard LS-2 right now. It makes 560hp.

7:43 is the reported time if I remember correctly, although it is somewhat controversial...
