6.2L Supercharged V8 engine
Intercooled Eaton supercharger. All-aluminum V8 expected to have at least 550 horsepower. Blinding acceleration, top-end performance and proven reliability coexist happily under the hood

Or the awful steering wheel? Or interior? Or seating position? Or zero headroom? Or awful visibility, or...

That would be the ZL1 you are talking about, and it will still be overweight with a sub-par interior and so-so driving dynamics. They are decently comfortable though!

Chevy is saying the motor and SC will be the same as the setup on the CTS-V with similar numbers (this will be the ZL1). Chevy is also saying that they will later release a track pack car with an LS motor. The track pack car might be called the Z28.

this car will be in the BOSS 302 price bracket, if the numbers hold true and reflect performance then the Boss just became a huge subordinate

More like in the GT500 price bracket in which case the ZL1 starts off as a slight subordinate.

well i saw a BOSS 302 at the ford dealer when i was flirting with a 5.0

, and it was listed at 48k, they keep saying that the ZL1 is going to be about 47k...so am not to sure

The plan that I heard is that the ZL1 is to fight the Shelby Mustang, while the Z28 is more track focused and will fight the Boss. But I could be mistaken.

The MSRP of the Boss is $40,145 according to Edmunds. The MSRP of the Shelby GT500 is about $49K. The Boss usually will have a dealer markup though I'v seen a few people order them for MSRP already. The GT500 has about the same HP as the ZR1 and is significantly lighter.

Totally false.

550bhp is not "about the same" as 638.

3750# is not lighter than 3350#.

ZR1 owns the GT500 in everything but cost and off-road ground clearance, lol

there is a new Boss in town.

The ZL1 has to come in at much less than the $50k estimate

wait for the comparison test

I want the Ford

badly
