Hoping the new C6 will be similar to the Tigershark concept car. Here is a review from Canadian Driver

742 horsepower Tiger Shark Corvette
I didn’t get to drive it, but this sharp-looking Corvette was inspiring enough to make me wonder if it’s going to become a production vehicle. GM bored out the Corvette’s LS1 V8 to 7.0 litres (427 cu. in.) and added a Vortech ‘T’ supercharger – that produces an amazing 742 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 690 lb-ft of torque at 5700 rpm. The Tiger Shark Corvette has a six-speed Borg Warner manual transmission, electronic throttle control, a modified independent suspension, large Brembo racing brakes (14 inch front/12 inch rear), 18 inch wheels, Goodyear F1 Fiorano tires, and a Tiger Yellow paint job and black leather interior. Even if it was built as a limited production model, the Tiger Shark would certainly become an image leader for Chevrolet and GM. I say, build it!

Did they post any performance numbers?

I wonder how much it would cost to make that thing...
 
From what I hear, the headlights will be open, and covered by a plastic lens...Hmmm

(Like the hood)

Is there a production model of the Tiger Shark?

Like many I have a C5 but would trade this in for the Tiger Shark even if the price doubles. Is GM going to produce this vehicle as a limited edition?
 
Tiger Shark

I believe this car was first shown at a show in Vegas several years ago. You can pruchase a body kit. The engine mods are not that hard to do. They too can be purchased or one of several tuners can do the trick for you. There's a wek site somewhere under Tigershark that will fill you in on all the story.
