Yeah definitely...I think that was a detail that was forgotten. Good call

Default I Doubt GM knows!

Market conditions aren't great. A new SC LT5 for a short run could only mean it would be going in the C8.
I like a Callaway upgrade that could be sold to anybody, and called it good!
They did the C4 Callaway turbo!

I hope GM stepped it up with the fueling especially on the high pressure side and that those parts will swap to other LT1/4's.

I would have to believe they did make the fuel system more robust. they always leave headroom. with another 100 to 150 bhp it will be at the limit so more headroom is needed. would be great if they did flex fuel from the factory (but they wont). hopefully the better parts are compatible.

It shouldn't be a big deal to increase fuel delivery, without changing the existing camshaft. Just increase the bore size of the pump. Making and testing a larger pump would probably be beyond what the typical aftermarket supplier can take on, but GM and Ford and Chrysler/Fiat have such a huge volume, that they can solicit parts from a set of specs, and suppliers will be jumping all over it.

Track guys will like them.
I don't think they plan on selling very many. Then the huge front bill and huge rear spoiler. I see 140,000-150,000 plus 1st year mark-up
Then it looks like it has a lot of Z06 parts interior maybe the same as well. I was holding off but now.
No more waiting for me. I decided to go ahead and get a second Z06. Have both the A8 and M7

They are the cream of the C7's now that I see this new ZR1 is more a straight track car that might not be much faster inline but very fast on curves. The Z06 is not in the same league. I need more street car one that can do hills like SF if needed.

Having an A8 left stock except for an air filter for dinner dates. Then having the second Z06 an
M7 with mods is the way I'm going for my garage.
Already shopping for the A8

First on the ZR1 order list at my dealer but all this time and speculation has me looking at other options as well.
Will keep waiting for now.

Enjoy your Z06's👍.

At the rate they are moving on the ZR1 might as well wait to buy a C8. At best the ZR1 will only beat it by a year, although the wide body won't come out for a year after the C8 is introduced.
