2011 z06 540hp z06 vs. 2011 zr1 638hp
kind of a spinoff from a previous topic, but i was wondering...
if a direct injection (540hp) z06 (7500 rpm redline) now yielded a 3.5 sec 0 - 60 time and was within .1 or .2 tenths of a second in the quarter mile, top speed of 200+ mph what vette would you buy? current pricing remaining the same.

ZR-1 is nice, BUT I'd have to take the new and improved 2011 540hp Z06. Sorry ZR1 owners thats how life works.

I don't think they will make pushrod motor spin 7500RPM that they also have to warranty.

Don't you think they would add direct injection to the ZR1 as well? Probably giving it close to 700hp?

No. Nobody here knows what will happen in 2011. This thread is a 'what if' question. The people that do know in GM do not leak this information without losing their jobs.
To the original poster, it can not have a 4.000" stroke and 7500rpm redline.

I agree, for a few bucks you can easily top the ZR-1 HP with a Z06 to the point where trhe ZR-1 is at the end.
