The Official
C5 Registry Registry Dinner The C5 Registry dinner began with a cocktail/social hour at 6:PM. An excellent Prime Rib was served, with talks by Dan Adovasio, JD Purvis (Route 66), and Jim Contes from the GM Proving grounds in Mesa. Jim showed us a video of a test with the C5 test mule at speed. And spoke of Up-Coming engines for the C6. A Generation 4 6 liter base engine with 405 HP and a possible 6.4 liter option engine at 455HP. Jim said the Z06 would stay at 405 HP until 2004. |
