"we've seen indications of well over 600 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque".... Looks like I'm getting a blower now. This car is beautiful though. Didn't like the c7 base, but if the zo6 looks like that I'm a fan

I'm watching the live reveal right now. Seeing tons of C7's escort the Z, Evil-Twin sure is right, those C7's sit really high in the front.

So it appears the Z06 will replace the ZR1 and we will not see another ZR1. The Z06 seems like it will be extremely badass. Will it be under $120k?

Absolutely stunning! 625 horsepower - 635 ft. lbs. of torque - 6-speed manual OR 8-speed automatic with a removable roof panel. Chevrolet did their homework.

Yes 625bhp and 635-640 range on torque (I forget exactly what he said but it was a big number).

Why do you say "Looks like I am getting a blower now?" Meaning, you are envious and want to somewhat keep up with the C7?"
