You guys are crazy and way too optimistic lol. You have to understand how scaling works.
The C8 Z06 will not have 800 horsepower.
It just wont and there is no chance of that. The previous Z06 had 650hp and you will not see an increase of 150hp between these generations. Yes you saw one between the C6Z and C7Z, but that’s because the car put on 500lbs and had to make up for that.
This new C8Z will have a better handling platform and won’t need to substitute in more power to make up for handling and weight. Expect a modest gain with an output in the low 700’s for horsepower but on the new chassis, the improvements will be immense. Then look for a ZR1 putting out around 800-820 down the line, not 1000hp.
Because remember, they still have to be able to top that product next generation. They build in increments by design, that’s why businesses like Apple make so much money.
