The real problem is that damn 1.7L pullied blower on top of a 6.2L motor regardless of what cooling advances are made. GM missed the mark on this thing. Look at the size of the blower on the Hellcat. Then go backward to the ZR1 with a 2.3L blower rated 638 hp in 2009. We are going backward with the LT4
I was surprised it took this long for this to be mentioned.... The CTS-V has already been announced with the LT4. Packing 640hp/630tq. It's highly likely the ZL1 will get the same.

60 more HP on a 200-300lb lighter platform over the current ZL1= win. I see low 11s right off the showroom floor.

And I agree as well. While the C7 Z06 is an incredible machine, I'm not really pleased with the LT4.
