Looks like it will be supercharged and likely expensive!

I'm getting erections based on the torque figures alone.

The waiting is killing me! But sounds like the C7Z is going to be a beast!

If anyone was wondering if this would be an N/A build, that torque number should put things to rest.

I'll be curious to see what displacement they kept under the blower.

My dreams of NA are

It'll still be cool, I'm just going to miss the big cubes.

Should be easy to have 700 wheel though!

I am betting it will also be direct injected, so I wonder what the fuel system will be capable of.

Probably no ZR1 unless they get some ***** and it has twins pushing 750 with a 130,000 base price.

Anyway I can't wait for this car to be revealed. I plan on getting one maybe in the middle of the run or towards the end unless they come out with something else. I will be gutting the blower and throwing twins on it cause I can't stand those top mounts.

I like it, but was really hoping for a "real" diffuser in the rear instead of another black panel like the base C7.

So any thoughts on the ZR1? I'm hoping for a twin turbo LTwhat-ever-the-****-their-on-by-the-time-they-announce-it with 7 or 800hp.

There is some talk on the Corvette forum about a TT setup for the CTS-V and a ZR1. But of course only time will tell.

One thing I can't shake in my head is that GM won't leave the C7Z model(s) alone until they make more HP than the out going generation. Faster around a track or not, there already is a 6.2 not DI with a twin screw that makes more power than this new 6.2 DI LT4 (If all the rumours are true). There must be a bunch left on the table...

Yes I realize the 650 Tq rumour would put the new LT above the LS9, but common GM, Mustang guys can get 662, surely a 95+K Vette can get that and more.
