Yea, I guess it is the same thing with the Voodoo engine. Sometimes the first is the worst, sometimes not.
Kind of similar, GM does lots of OHC V6 and 4 cylinder engines. But the LS7 was similar to past engines.
True. I do love the sound of it when I get to 8250
Just like the Hellcats were over 600HP before they came out. 
It definitely will be lighter then the Z51, which is normal for a Z06 variant.So,.............I should keep the mileage low on my car and continue to save my pennys??
Gonna be a bad bitch. If the C8 Z51 is a performer, can you imagine how bad ass the C8 Z06 is going to be?? NASTY!
Probably closer to 700HP too, in my opinion. That's Over 600HP, right?
To me the spirit of the Z06 is dead without a manual transmission. But I believe that it will be fast. Probably not super light, but fast.
700HP and a 5.5L NA would be ~127 HP/L, that seems kind of undoable. I mean, cars like the Aventador were ~106 HP/L, and close to 700 but also 6.5L, and __way__ more expensive. The Huracan was 115, that's getting up there. The Voodoo at 5.5 L, just using "dumb math" is ~556HP (as more of a lower-end type design target).So,.............I should keep the mileage low on my car and continue to save my pennys??

So, not really feeling the new GT500 either because of the 7 speed DCT?
I understand where you're coming from though, but the automatics TRUMP the manuals these days. In both performance and personal preference aspects.Probably so.700HP and a 5.5L NA would be ~127 HP/L, that seems kind of undoable.

I predict if this really winds up being NA, it'll be in somewhere between 605 and 620HP.
I think it's killer (if true) they're going back to NA for the Z06 - maybe they're reserving a ZR1 for the same FPC motor but with TT
Yea, I think your 700hp was a wish list, not reality list.So, not really feeling the new GT500 either because of the 7 speed DCT?
The automatics are the "go to" transmission these days. I had a 2013 Roush Stage 3 with the M6, it was fun.
Probably so.
I was thinking maybe 650+,...but maybe I was being a little "over anxious". lol
I think we're pretty peaked with regards to engine configuration vs. maximum efficiency, I guess a crazy RPM + DI + 32v V8 might get close to that[?]Probably so.
