For 79k-86k I really don't think that Ford would have much of a problem chasing a Z06 especially if there is 100-hp advantage right out of the gate.

You're ONLY talking 1/4-mile, right? Then why buy the Z07 option?
$79K-Base. Same TORQUE as the 'Cat. 1000 lighter. 8-speed Automatic...which already takes a Base $50-something Vette into the 11s. With 190 fewer galloping horses.
Right?
Now...what will a 750 pony BLOWN S550 weigh? MORE than the GT500 did. Unless you throw aluminum and c/f at it. THEN what's the price? And, with available transmissions, what will this hypothetical "750+ hp" engine deliver for TORQUE? 650. Is Ford gonna yank the tranny from a Power Stroke diesel to back it up? And what does THAT tranny weigh?
"Dilemmas"...
