For sure! 350wHP with only 2700 pounds would be incredible. Assuming about 400HP at the crank, that would be nipping at the heels of the C6 Z06 in terms of power-to-weight, and right on par with the forthcoming Camaro ZL1.

I'm sure the aftermarket community will be ferociously working on boosting whatever version of the FB engine ends up in the car, but you can't honestly expect a 400HP version to come from the factory and still have a warranty. 200HP/L is still rare air and no mass production engine to my knowledge has ever touched it. The Porsche 911 GT2 RS is close, with 172HP/L, but it's also a quarter million dollars and not exactly mass production.
