As a option no. But a upgrade maybe. Don't think the zl1 is gonna be a bargain deal.

Nice cars
If you really want to know go to the chevy website under upcoming cars they have all the standard equipment the ZL1 has. Clearly lists Brembos, Recaros,as standard. I'm sorry I dont know how to post a link. Pretty much comes loaded

Good enough for me. I tried looking before you made this post but since I'm a die hard ford guy I thought it was sacrilegious

And it comes out of hiding... LOL...ahh... sweet nectar. This car is gonna be a beast, no doubt. Didn't even give GM time to crack out orders of ZL1's. LOL
I can hear plastic key fobs hitting desks at Dodge Dealers right now.

Ford couldn't wait due to possible cooling issues in the LT4.

I'm still hoping they get a few out before 2017 is over. Looks like a twin turbo V8 it is and most likely over 800hp. I'm also hoping that they get a GT500 into IMSA GT to compete with the exotics.

I guess the Twin Turbo V8 is leaning towards confirmed. We also confirmed a 2017.5 release so, I'm betting a select few will be sold as Pre-refresh 2017's and the rest are sold as 2018's. I'm betting the KR package is released in 2018. The GT500 will have better brakes and rubber over a GT350. Not sure if any automatic trans is planned for the 2017.5, possibility of an auto eventually.

Sub-11 second 1/4 mile
$66,995
800hp

Do they mention an industrial sized cheese grater front grill as a standard option as well?

Is it in stone that the GT500 is getting a twin turbo V8? Maybe its the same motor thats in the Ford GT? I cant understand why Ford would put a T2 V8 in a mustang but not their 400k flagship car????

Because the flagship car is essentially the race car but detuned. All that race R&D was done for the street version.

LeMan allow upto 4.0 liter wonder why Ford doesn't go with 4.0 V8 TT, or at least 3.9L V6.
