I have seen several Ferrari owners that have custom supercharger and turbo kits on their cars. Also, a Ferrari 360 Modena will not touch the new Z06, straightline or twisties. This car is built to rev as well as have the low end torque to boil the tires until the cows come home. By tried and true, I meant the use of the small block, pushrod, however advancements in alloys and head design allow for new materials that make the engine technologically advanced. There will only be a few cars that will out do the new Z06 and they are Enzo, Carrera GT, Pagani, Murcielago(maybe), Noble, Saleen S7, McLaren SLR, I really can't think of many others. The dry sump is rarely used because of the cost of it, although it is a superior oiling system to any other, because there is oil being constantly pushed through the engine while allowing the crank to spin free of any oil. There are very few production cars that have a dry sump system, (think Enzo) because that my friends is something "exotic". As has been stated before, there were many critics that said Ford would never be able to sell the new GT for 150,000 and the last time I checked the few that are for sale are bringing MSRP or more Used. Chevrolet is not looking to sell 100,000 Z06's it is a tribute to the capabilities of Chevy racing as well as Chevrolet as a company. There is a reason why the C5R swept the Rolex series with "old technology".
