On a side note I respect the new stangs power but still think its butt ugly and too plain for me but I know to each his own. And this wasnt directed at you M4a1 just a side note about my 2 cents.
No, the 'vette is getting a 5.5L-ish DI engine that will put out about 440bhp in the base C7, per GM. That much has been confirmed. That's about all we know, though.

The only car I know of doing what you say is the BMW M3.

Would a 2JZ fit better in the Z than the LSX, a full-assembled LSX motor is around 450#, give or take a few, IIRC. What does the Z's motor weigh, and what does a 2JZ/hair dryer weigh?
