Wow, good find Peter. Much higher hp levels might be just around the corner.
Awesome isn't it.....

Maybe we will see a ZR1 in the near future pushing 700hp from the factory

I hope they can find the suspension and tires to match the performance.
HP numbers are verging on going off the scale.

Funny that they didn't hide the fact that there are provisions for a boost gauge as there hasn't been much official talk on the future of the ZR1 or Z06. Glad to see that as it makes a Z06 or ZR1 even more certain.

Be interesting to see if they go the CTS-v vs ZR1 approach and use the same engine platform, one with a smaller blower than the other, on the future Z06 vs ZR1 engines or if the Z06 stays normally aspirated.

I personally believe that GM is committed to downsizing their engines and going the supercharger/turbocharger route for higher performance.

I don't think we'll see the 427 cu. in. engine again which means boosting a smaller motor to match or exceed previous performance.

It'll be interesting to see what pans out, but for sure performance isn't going anywhere for now.

Great time to own a performance car all the while our oil lasts ......
