It's coming faster than we may be willing to accept. Just my o2.

Have you read about the 427 going into the next Z06?

Rumors: ZR1 Corvette Stingray C7 could crack 700 HP, while Z06 hit 600 HP

February 19, 2013 at 11:44 am

Motor Trend speculates (without citing any hard source other than “Word is”) that the next Z06 Corvette Stingray C7 will keep the 7.0L engine, but see a power jump from 505 hp to as high as 600, while the ZR1 Corvette Stingray with its V8 (an evolution of the new LT1 V-8 in the base C7) may push 700 hp!

They say that the final numbers for each model will be as follows: If the ZR1 makes 675 hp or so, the Z06 will get 550. If the ZR1 cracks 700 hp, the Z06 will crack 600.

2013 Camaro 6.2.
2013 Corvette 6.2
2014 Corvette 6.2
2016 Camaro 6.2



2015 Z06 Normally Aspirated 7.0
2016 ZR1 TT 6.2

There is some grumbling among the engineers that did the new LT1 about the reduced state of power it was released with.

Something about 50 to 75 HP left on the table.
