Default Re: The New C8 ZR1 LT5.... The 750 hp

Latest rumour is for a mid engine, rear drive 700+ hp twin-turbocharged V6 Corvette Zora. Supposedly confirmed by a GM dealership.








Whatever it is, I really hope that it's NOT a V6. That would ruin the car IMO.

Beat me to it. If this car does materialize I don't believe it will have anything but a V8. One thing about GM is they do love their heritage and a V6 in a Corvette wouldn't work and paying homage to Zora with a V6 doesn't work.

Sounds like a rival to the new Ford GT if you ask me. A V6 makes perfect sense if you're not wearing Corvette blinders. My vote - plausible.
