I suspect that the '12 GT500 will recieve a significant HP bump--just in time to take some of the wind out of the ZL1's sails.

I further suspect that the '13 ZL1 will respond with its own power increase.

Chevy will really need to up the ante to fend off the all new '14 Mustang (especially if there is a new '14 Shelby variant--which there may or may not be).

This is a long way of saying that I think we can expect stronger internals to be incorporated over the next couple of model years to keep up with any power increases.
