620 horsepower, 650lb/ft of torque. Supercharged LT4 small block.

Sounds like the next ZR1 will have a LT5 again.

I have a theory I've been pondering inside my head. The C7 Z06 is a HIGHLY capable car and will supplant the C6 ZR1 on the track. So, where does that leave the C7 ZR1?

I firmly believe GM is going to make it and I'd bet money it's twin turbos and will have around 700hp, maybe a touch more. 720-730 maybe. It's going to be a big halo car for GM.

So, would calling it an LT5 or LT9 really do it justice? Especially, since I think it will be a world beater type car, so GM will price accordingly at maybe $150k or more.

Nope, I think they're going to bring back the L88 name. 6.2 or 6.3L (why not?) direct injected twin turbo V8 L88. 730hp, 780lb/ft torque routed through a 7-speed dual clutch and highly advanced traction/launch control management system with huge 355 or 365 specially developed rear meats.

It's probably still cheaper than a '14 Z/28 too!

My edumacated guesstimate is base price will be around $78k. That will be a "base" C7 Z06. Fancy interior options, carbon ceramic brakes, etc. will push the price to $90-100k OTD.

Jesus, that's like 7 Yarii.

So is that.

Lol @ yarii!

[Broncojohnny]

I just put in for more overtime on the railroad

[Tyrone Biggums]

No overtime needed here. I'll sell two of my cow skin Yarii and pay straight cash for mine. Might even have enough left over for some Mi Dia from scratch!

[wickedblkgt]

I saw that exact car (color) at the Mav's game tonight.

[talisman]

So, it has less horsepower than the GT500? That's adorable..
