Besides the 991 GT2RS...
C7 ZR1 almost here!!!
- Thread starter Z06
- Start date
In the article they mention the LT5 has a bigger Eaton supercharger than the LT4 which was a 1.7L. I wonder if the LT5 is using a 2.3L like the GT500 or if it's using the new 2.65L Eaton just came out with. Either way a 2.3L or 2.65L will have a lot more room for HP growth than the anemic 1.7L used in LT4's. Could an LT5 with just pulley, intake, exhaust and tune be able to hit 900-1000HP??
I'm sure it'll be a performance monster, but it's styling is a little too overdone for me.
Probably the C7 swan song, before they go mid engine.
Setting the table for potential future excuses I see

still think the C7 looks like crap. C6 Z06 was the best looker imo.
Looks like a blowfish at the front.
Because poseurs gotta make sure they can be seen!
Don't bet too much money on that. If this thing is gonna be 3700+ lbs, I don't see it outperforming the GT on a track. Probably will have a hard time even from a dig. It might have a fighting chance in a roll race at highway speeds. The GT is over 400 lbs lighter. Four hundred pounds is a lot of extra weight to be throwing around.
Motor Trend has done instrumented testing just recently. They said Ford still has an embargo on the GT for test numbers.

How much did the previous generation ZR1 and Z06 weigh?
3100ish and 3300ish depending on package.
Someone asked earlier what blower it will have and I’m certain it’s the 2.65
Oh I see, that is interesting then.
Road & Track ran 11.1 @ 130 in a GT at 4320ft of elevation. 0-60 in 3.2

I read or heard somewhere that the 0-60 was below 3 seconds

They said in the article that the times are probably quicker than what they tested.

I hope so. Even corrected, those times don't stack up very well against some of the competition out there.
Just FYI the ZR1 is heavier of the two
Oh gotcha, so nothing new than with this generation. Makes sense because of the supercharger and all.
That's pretty impressive at altitude and in the hands of the R&T turds...at sea level that would have been around 10.5x @ 137, maybe faster...
Pretty sure DBK said the car did 137 or somewhere near it.
Edit: Found the post. It did 137 on a concrete pad.
