You get it Turbo Junky. It could be an epic battle. I'm calling my Chevy dealer today!

Next profanity laden troll comment gets handed the lock


The ZR is following the C6 history. Base Model Z06 Grand Sport King of the Hill.
There will always be the next big thing. The ZR lMO looks pretty impressive

Why wait for the next one? The OP is an obvious troll and nothing more.

I sincerely hope the hype over the ZR1 dies down soon because it's taken over the C7 Gen forum, which is not a good thing IMO.

In 2018 we will see the 2019 GT500 Mustang hitting the streets.


2018 model year may not see a new Mustang worth talking about but before the year is out.......the cars that spy shots show as having a "roll cage" in it just might be something to talk about.

A roll cage from the factory in a street car seems CRAZY for it's impracticality...........but then starts to make a whole lot of GOOD SENSE if the car is a certifiable sub- 10 second 1/4 mile runner.

Nobody speculating knows for sure what's up with the re-introduction........but you have to believe that Ford is targeting the Demon for a "take down"........ big speculation on this one isn't about how fast or how powerful though.

A lot of people are wondering if it'll be turbo charged or super charged.

The whole "eco-boost" thing across Ford's newest offering line up......suggests this might be a turbo charged car rather than the Supercharged V8 we think of in the 13-14' version last released and the cross town rival ZL1 Camaros and Hell Cats.

Really? Why don't you educate all of us here and explain to us how the C6 ZR1 was a different car?

Isn't it about time for the Porsche humpers to chime in and tell us how much better the $1,000,000.00 918 is than the C7 ZR1.
