Actually, the car is not slated to be discontinued as what I have read. Just the new one postponed. I assume it is the 755HP ZR1 motor and upgrades to go with it are needing more time.
Very true. Even the extra torque on the trans and diff can make parts deteriorate quickly. Even just increasing cooling fluid amounts will help a lot, which sadly also increases the weight of the car. The 2020 GT500 should have a lot more fluid amounts to keep it cool for longer track lengths/laps.
I agree to a point, but it is only 100hp extra and the ZL1 was built beefy enough to take the extra power. Maybe 850, I would be concerned about half shafts, drive shaft, cooling and brakes, etc.
Everything I have read GM denies it, but a camo Camaro has been seen testing that was extremely loud. It seems to be a no brainer. The ZL1 has been boosted to 1000hp by several tuners and so far seem reliable.
This should be what is coming for the ZL1, just a matter of time.

I see that is the case for me sometimes. But people who have owned a GT350 or GT and maybe wanting for a future one but does not own one now sometimes can get attacked by the buzzards. But people who intentionally start something is not really prevalent here, I do see a few. Maybe I am...
ZL1 sales will probably not get affected like the GT500 sales probably won't get affected, much anyways. The vette people don't buy Camaros much or vice versa. Two different vehicles. Ford peeps aren't going to fall all over themselves to go over to GM. Especially, since the GT500 is coming out.
Yep, Lebanon Ford has been do that for a long time. But they top out in the low 700hp for the most part.
Here is an 850hp for $54,000

Could be, they have another one discounted also for the regular GT350. It could be a fluke because they have to get rid of them to get a GT500 allocation.
