If the new C7Z is supercharged it should have more than 605 crank HP ... probably more like 650~660 HP. If it's supercharged, that also means there probably will not be a ZR1.

If the C7Z is NA, then I'd say it will have around 525~530 crank HP. If it's NA, then there could still be a SC C7 ZR1.

LS3 at 432hp and LS9 at 628hp is 196hp upgrade. So if LT1 is 460hp add 150 to 200hp for LT4 supercharged is 610 to 660hp.

My guess is the ZR1 motor will be called 'LT5' again. Only makes sense!

Based on those numbers alone, seems it would be competitive with C6 ZR1. With it's other technological advancements it will be a bit more than competitive IMHO. The bar will be raised once again.

Very close estimate ... And a few more HP will be found around April or May when SAE certified figures are released

No way... they want to keep the ZR1 in supercar/exotic territory... it's worked well for them.

A couple years later... 700+ HP... LT5 ZR1.

Going to be great these next few years!

there is a leak saying just about anything. this C7 thing is a veritable sieve. probably all orchestrated by gm for the marketing "benefit." not a totally stupid approach. any publicity is good publicity--or so "they" say.

apparently good ole nick has not been watching the news lately, nor spoken with any dealerships. the common wisdom has it that basically all cars will soon be supercharged--as you know its the best way to keep engine size down, while increasing hp. its all about money.
