Dean,

According to Automobile Magazine (that's twice today I've quoted them) the

Z07 will go into production for the 1999 model year as the Z8 (Car and

Driver called it the Z7).  The car will come in at around $95,000 in the US.

The car will reportedly receive a 5.0 liter V8 from the upcoming M5 that

produces 440 hp and 370 lb-ft of torque.  Whether the US will get that

potent power plant is not clear, but it looks like it probably will.  Zero

to 60 times will probably be in the 4.5 second range, and top speed will

reportedly be limited to 156 mph.
