LT4 spy pic
Here is a pic of what appears to be the LT4 supercharged engine.
I guess that means the Z06 is going forced induction which, in my opinion, is a huge mistake. |

I knew it was coming too but I am really disappointed. Forced induction doesn't interest me at all. I guess true high performance, naturally aspirated motors like the LS7 are dying off. It's too bad GM took the easy way out with the Z06 motor. This has pretty much killed my excitement for the Z06 now. The cars that had that badge before were something special to me but not anymore.

Totally possible as well. However, I believe it is more likely that the ZR1, if there is one, will have the new "L88".

What are the rumors about the L88? Back in the day it was a Big Block wasn't it? 427? Now we are talking LS7 again. Maybe the ZO6 gets the L88 and the ZL1 gets the LT4... IDK just throwing stuff out there.

Other than the revival regarding the actual nameplate, the "L88" is completely unknown.

But I agree with you, anything and everything is possible. GM execs are more or less politicians. They know very well how to play with people and words. Just a few months ago they said there was no plan of a Z06. LOL

They are a bunch of sneaky bastages... If you've ever heard some of the stories of the security measures they run at their R&D department you know we only hear what they want us to.
I do love the stuff they are throwing at us lately though. My 1LE is leaps and bounds beyond any of my old Chevy's of the past. I can't lie HP-Weight ratio is not in my 1LE's favor but the delivery is light years beyond my old cars.

And I agree, the 1LE is an outstanding car for the money. I'm struggling to decide whether to keep mine or trade for Z51 C7. I wish I could afford the Z06, but it will likely be quite a bit more than the Z51.
