BTW What heat sink are you refering to? Brakes?
Z06 motor is nothing "exotic". Yes it is hand built, so what? Yes it needs a dry sump. Speak to z06 owners whose engines went "boom" when tracking the car.
Any why less power when ZL1 has the best motor GM has produced ?
Anyhow, you seem to believe that the car will somehow sprout extra capabilities from what has been shown already. I do hope so, as at the current level I don't think its performance is that impressive at all. Exotic - yes. Performance - no.

"So technically, I could purchase a ZL1 (possible for $48,250, as a friend just got one)" My apologies, it just sounded like that, because for that price, it's generally used. I've never seen a brand new one go that low, is it a leftover '13?

The ZL1 motor is prone to heat soak (power loss) with the FI. A lot of owners make modifications to combat that. I never mentioned anything about the Z06 motor.
