Corvette Z06 will have 620 hp and 650 lb-ft of Torque
620 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. And it'll be supercharged.
That puts it just below the outgoing ZR1 in terms of maximum horsepower, but bests it by 50 lb-ft of torque. Mind you, that also puts it within striking distance of the Viper when it comes to outright horsepower, and ahead of the Ferrari 458 Italia and the Porsche 911 Turbo S. So yeah. It's going to be stupid quick.
It'll also be supercharged, but we already knew that. That fact alone is interesting considering the Z06 was has always been the fastest of the naturally aspirated Corvettes. It makes me wonder what they're going to do with the ZR1. Will there be a ZR1? If there is, what kind of power is that car going to make!

The Elmiraj concept was revealed with a 4.5 TT. I doubt they will axe the ZR1 (and if it does show back up to the party, I would imagine it will be sporting a turbo setup derived from the 4.5 TT development). If the Z06 is coming out with 620hp, the ZR1 will have to outclass it.

I got to be honest. The HP levels are getting insane. What are they going to release a 700 hp zr1?

As for the insane power levels, I'm just fine with it. Just think, one day we may have the entry level Malibu as a 400hp V6 with 35/50mpg and a ZR1 with 1000hp available sitting at the dealership, lol. I don't think any of the manufacturers will be happy unless they have the car with the most HP sitting on the lot, so it's going to be a HP war for a long time to come.

its not like there is not precedents of this. dont forget in the 4th gen the ss out ranked the z28 and now it no longer does. So its is possible that the z06 could out rank the zl1. but we will have to wait and see.
A 400 V6 malibu? god help us all. I just moved to Chesapeake VA. Half the people here cant even drive a 150hp civic. LOL
Just curious when do you reach the point of to much HP for a street car?

i cant wait to see what this thing will weigh. and coupled with that HP i think weve got a great car (duh). wish it was NA but ill take this. hopefully it will be right around 3000lbs doubtful but that would be awesome.
i wonder if they will bring the ZR1 back and whats in store for that one. idk how i feel about a 4.5 unless theyre going DOHC or something really wild.
cant wait for this to be unveiled.
