DETROIT – Chevrolet will introduce the 2015 Corvette Z06 next month at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. It will be the most track-capable Corvette ever, designed to deliver supercar levels of performance through unique powertrain, chassis and aerodynamic features.
The Corvette Z06 will complete Chevrolet’s performance car lineup, which will also see the addition of the Corvette Stingray Convertible, Camaro Z/28 and SS sedan.
“Chevrolet is America’s favorite performance car brand, and for 2014 we are going to offer enthusiasts more choices than ever before,” said Alan Batey, senior vice president, Global Chevrolet. “No other manufacturer will be able to match the breath of performance cars from Chevrolet.”

I think they can do 605 crank,NA with no serious reliability issues. those new LT's are beasts. I would like to see them stay NA but that is my preference, big nasty cubes. The next ZR1 will have a massive supercharger that's for sure though, and it hurts my heart.

Best case scenario GM debuts a NA big cube engine using one-off heads and block like the LS7. But more than likely the Z06 will be powered by the rumored supercharged 6.2 LT4. However, there's a minuet chance of a hybrid system like the Porsche 918 and McLaren P1.

Should be interesting. I'd love to see a 600hp NA 427 LT motor. I do think that GM would really have to push it to pass emissions.
Also, GM didn't exactly nail it as for reliability on the LS7. Hundreds if not Thousands of motors got toasted due to vavletrain issues with the stock heads.

i cant wait for this, I hope it stays NA and jumps to 605hp but if not i hope its goes Turbo rather than Supercharged.
time for the C7 to take the flame now and start with that *** kicking GM has been delivering.

not saying it was a great idea to put those valves in a car that is 99.9% daily driven.
