They can put all kinds of things in it, because that's all they have. The Ford GT is long gone.
That's just my opinion.

I'll never get this angle. If the Corvette and the ZL1 had the exact same HP numbers, the Corvette is going to outperform it based on weight alone.

Relax! This is nothing new for automotive journalists. Back in 2006 when Ford introduced the GT500, they said the engine in the Shelby was the same as the engine in the Ford GT. The 5.4 in the GT and the 5.4 used in the GT500 are about as similar as the LS9 and the LSA.

Not to be a party pooper but will we be blessed with "skip shift" on the new ZL1?

Yea the Corvette will always have to be on top. Thats just it. But if Chevy really wanted to put 650 hp in a Camaro, they would not hesitate to do it.
