Really doesn't matter. The C7.5 would be out before this thing hits the market.

I dont want you guys to get mad or anything im definatley pro gm but i honestly didnt think ford had the guts to bring it back...

JoesC5

It's going to be a game changer.

Skullbussa

I'm going to make prediction:

-Turbocharged ("EcoBeast") version of flat-plane crank motor found in the new Mustang GT350
-dual clutch transmission (no TORQUE CONVERTERS HERE....GM, are you paying attention?)
-3400 lbs
-635hp/580 ft.lb torque at minimum
-carbon ceramic brakes
-magneto-rheological suspension

They're not gunning for the Z06, they're gunning for the TBD C7 ZR1 - and it will probably eat it and spit it out just the same.

$165,000 - and they'll sell every single one of them.


EDIT - just saw those pictures. HOLY $$$$. They're not gunning for the ZR1, they're gunning for the P1.

Live is over. Didn't see the pics on the jalopnik link.

Edit: They did say its coming with a DCT, not a manual. I'm thinking its going to be $150k+ 3.8L ecoboost TT, 600hp. (more may be)

JoesC5

I don't think so. The so-called "Zora" isn't near as ready for production as is the Ford.

tg07

Wow. If they keep the price tag at $150k or less, I think I'm in. Otherwise I'll be buying the Z06.

Steve Garrett

Well, WE CARE if you're posting in the wrong section! This is NOT ZO6 related.....moved to Other Cars.

RandomTask

Agreed. I'd sell my Z06 in a heartbeat if I could afford it. That price is probably out of my range though.

Doubt it; severe underdog unless they have some trick electric setup under their sleeve.

Stating they're going for (and will beat) the C7ZR1 when that car or its specs haven't even been released yet is like 3 inception levels of hypotheticals. . .

jasonvons

Ok I want one, looks beautiful. Please be light weight!

yenko boy

Well you know how it goes and the excitment got the best of me lol... It is funny though that with all the off topic things in that section the last few months that this paticular post was moved in record time... It is what it is...

355Spider

If the past is a guide I wouldn't panic. The last Ford GT was as fast as the Z06 but not as fast as the ZR1.

emericr

Looks wild. I like it but it all depends what price point this is going to be.
It looks real expensive.

RapidC84B

Cars just keep getting better an better. So cool.

DREAMERAK

I'm predicting close to $200,000 with options.

yenko boy

Very true the current z06 is already at 650hp a zr1 will be atleast 750 if not more. And im expecting it to be much lighter...
