If the pattern holds with the 00's, they're already due an LS1>LS2/3 (350>400-420HP) type of refresh with the LT1 in addition to a third engine option like the LS7.

Garbage, like usual

GM WILL NEVER RECOVER BTFO

>>16469675
Adding DOHC wouldn't make the engine fit in a Corvette, so no way they're doing that. They're eventually gonna have a hybrid system for their Zora halo car, so I'm guessing this won't have it. My guess is it'll be a tuned/higher displacement LT4.

>>16469675
whatever it is, it will get BTFO by the 800+hp Shelby GT500 with its EcoBoosted Voodoo engine and the Ford GT's 700+hp 3.5l EcoBoost V6

lol

A roof adds significant rigidity to a car. Ever wonder why convertibles are heavier and slower than their hardtop equivalents? It's all the bracing that weighs a shit ton and still can't make up for the loss.

This.

Explain the LT5 C4 ZR1 then.

C7 Zr1 is going to be a direct injected, 5th gen LT-based, 6.2L DOHC V8.

>>16469821
>GT500
Designed to compete with the Camaro ZL1, which the GT500 will handily beat if it has anywhere over 700hp. Z/28 Camaro will be a GT350 competitor. Corvette is in a different segment.

>Ford GT
>700hp
More like 630.

>>16469919
the gt will have 700+ hp

>>16469933
Ford actually quotes the GT to have 600+.

>>16469939
exactly. 700 hp is over 600.

>>16469948
Why would Ford market it as 600+ then? Why not post 700+ then?

>>16469954
to surprise people with the capabilities of Ecoboost

What are you talking about? Even FWD owners can enjoy the LS V8

>>16469858

I know that, chassis rigidity, etc., but my point is that they word it like making it black is what enhances performance, like >>16469966 understood.
