So the potential power offerings would be something like:

Base Car, 500-520 LT2 OHV (LT1 variant)
Z06, 650HP 5.5 DOHC ... ?
ZR1, 800HP 5.5 TT ... ?

Zora Edition, ZR1 5.5TT + 200HP electric for ~1000 [?]

Huge corvette fan! This thing looks insane. And 1000hp? Are you kidding me? Now if they’d just make a big and tall edition. So I could fit my 6.3 270 pound ass in one.

I am 210 lbs total, but my ass is only around 40 lbs.

And to think they will be building my car in about a year. Well, only if it has a manual. And if it does, too bad I gotta wait a few more years for the owner to sell it to me

I’m wondering how that new Vette will fair (or has) in the mandated crash tests? Does anyone have any data on it?

 

[CrashOverride]

I have a feeling the front crash tests will be very easy to pass without a big piece of metal to design around. The rear on the other hand...

Vette fares/performs same as all other low mass vehicles in crashes: more likely to die.

Beware if you dare to care how you might fare in rare vehicular hardware warfare.

Or consider the new 4600 lb (fuel + occupants) 2020 Ford GT500 crossover SUV:

It maybe true but that article is from back in April and car and drive doesn't have all that good a track record with there predictions

LOL on the GT500 crossover SUV bit. The thing weighs damn near as much as my new RCSB 4X4 F150....
