Not so quick...

One can easily get to the 460 hp range with simple bolt ons and software in the S65. I think some have dynoed at 400 rwhp (probably with 15% correction). That can get to 800 crank hp with FI. There has been some demonstrations of quite impressive reliability at those power levels. What can a Z06 get to with simple bolt ons and software, I have no idea as I don't follow that "scene"? I'm sure they can get to 1000 hp with turbo charging.
