Im dissapointed in how GM is recycling designations for their engines. It makes for a mess and people will begin to talk about it much more very soon. Now theres a genii LT1 and LT4 and a current LT1/4 and now LT5... what a mess.
Styling wise I think its right on par with current manufacturers that are all about excess flares, scoops and spoilers. Clearly Pontiac was a few decades too early ![]() My guess is the dohc engine for the C8 will be a 4L, compact with twin turbos or a supercharger. Hopefully mid engine as well. Leaving the C4 ZR-1 the only DOHC Front engined corvette ever ![]() |

Finally unveiled.
Fastest, Most Powerful Vette Ever With two wings and a top speed of more than 210 mph, the ZR1 is a supercharged superstar ![]() 755 horses and 715 lb-ft of torque from its supercharged, 6.2-liter LT5 V-8 engine, with a top speed in excess of 210 mph. There are no 0-60 mph or quarter mile claims yet, but expect mid to high twos to 60 and mid 10s in the quarter. |

Naming aside, the new ZR1 raises the bar once again for value in the supercar class! Gonna be one sweet ride!

Not a fan of this car in orange, not a fan of giant spoilers....I’ve come to like the C7 styling more over the years (they look a bit like Camaros to me)....but using the LT5 code is the worst.

I've come to be a fan of the C7Z and am excited about a ZR 1 variant, but hope it's not immediately dated when the C8 arrives.

Unreal the HP numbers we are seeing from factory performance cars these days. Likewise the astronomical prices.
