Yes, maybe a 2-3 year run of 1800 pre year or so of them. There wont be a lot. If there were the values would tank like any other corvette.
But supercharger + track =

Size Matters....
When porsche does a FACTORY 5.0 liter flat 6, all bets are off if they do variable turbines as well.
Making between 800-1500hp (reliable hp) will not be an issue @ that displacement.
Note that @ 85K English "POUNDS" this is around $140-160K++USD depending on how they price it here in the USA.

That's for sure, still does nothing for me though.. I would love for them to tweak the suspension and brakes x10 for the added power!

Whatever they call it, it will be a beast. (Maybe that should be its name.) It's performance will undoubtedly put it in the supercar league and it will probably eat Porshes and Vipers alive (Sad to say!). It sounds like a terrific car, as is the ZO-6.
Problem will be one of image. No matter how one tries, if your driving a Corvette you run the risk of being looked upon as an uncool and unsophisticated player. Its unfortunate, but so many of their buyers fit that stereotype.

800 hp 998 GT2 w/DSG - Now there is a dream...
Typical name game from GM though. But the "ZR-1" or whatever they call it will be a monster!

$100k until dealers start with the market adjustment crap. The sad part of it all is I can alot of them being put away in a garage. Never seeing the road or track, only to be looked at like the early ZR-1s.
