Motor Trend ZR1 article today says twin turbo plus E-Ray system...

I'm at work so can't link it atm.

Maybe fluff piece, maybe not...

But if true, then GM done good. 1000 combined hp or bust.

So basically this guy is a , has no idea what he's talking about and was just trying to sell you a Z06. Personally, I'd ask him to not call me again.

Some thoughts:

1. The test mules we've seen don't have the front cooling brick on the driver side that the eRay has.

2. An acquaintance at VIR who "knows a guy" (everyone knows a guy) says things are up in the air between the ZR1/Zora and what the cars were originally supposed to be may be revised. I.e. maybe they release 1 car and not a ZR1 and a Zora?

3. The mules clearly have a revised inlet in the boomerang tail and an inlet on the hatch. If it was a LT6 w/ eAWD they wouldn't need any of that.

they're full of crap...no electrification based on no visible mandatory emergency access stickers for test cars!

Just like every other clown and their predictions..


I don think there is going to be a Zora this C8 Generation. I think the ZR1 is going to be the beast for now.. Cant wait till It comes out, mainly to quiet all the eRay owners... lol

PuffC8

What all 100 of them? Lol

SinisterC6

What if the C9s are referred to as zoras and not stingrays

If true then i guess i'm right again when i said if no ZORA, ZR1 will be the top dog WITH the massive hp.

I made sure all my grounds were covered lol

TRANS DAMM

you need professional help & medication

Z0HS1CK

Hehe nah man. This is fun

ZachZ06

Doubt it. Why would they change the name now for after 61 years? Zora very well may be a top dog variant at some point, I just dont see it in the C8 generation.

ZachZ06

I read some of your previous posts, you said under 800hp. That isnt massive..
C7ZR1 was 755hp, no?

ZR1 will be over 900hp, FPC..

Z0HS1CK

Right. And i said if there is no ZORA, ZR1 will be the top dog with everything and the kitchen sink thrown at it.

HP unknown. I said under 800hp if there is a ZORA.

But in the end i don't care since i'm not getting the car. I got the trifecta for the z06 right so....

ZachZ06

Maybe I missed something, but what is this trifecta?


No way the C8ZR1 is under 800hp.. Like I said already, 900+, FPC..

JDSKY

I'm really not sure why you are not getting the credit you deserve for these predictions. It is extremely difficult to predict these things and I don't think anyone knows just how hard it is to actually pull off a trifecta on a completely new generation of Corvette.

Z0HS1CK

Oh you know, you're not "new" here

Don't forget people also said, "no way the z06 is going to cost more than 85-89k".

"no way the z06 can making more power than the outgoing z06 in NA. A big displacement FPC can't be done"

"the z06 will be twin turbo making 700hp+."

And look at what we got.

It might be different than the ZR1 but the question is, WILL GM put out such a beast. It's not a question on are they capable of doing it. The question is, WILL THEY?

PRE-Z06

Lamborghini’s new 4.0L TT V8 produces 739hp and has a 10k rpm redline?!

1985 Corvette

Curious on this one and how much it’ll weigh, as most would scoff at only a 69 hp increase over the Z06 if the ZR1 had that power and rpm range. If the new ZR was everything that new Lambo was going to be, including an undoubtedly lower weight than 3700lbs at a Chevy price, would people still complain?

I want to be excited for this new ZR1, but man a two ton Corvette. Sheesh.

The Temerario will have even more HP as it also will include hybridization.

KCC8

It will also be nearly 2 tons
