I was actually surprised by that statement. It seams as though the Corvette name is almost it's own entity, separate from Chevrolet. Kinda like Ram and Dodge. And to be honest, it's about time GM steps up with the Camaro and shows us what it can do.

Listen carefully to what he says, he's being pretty careful about what he says in a lawyerly sort of way. It's something they can fart around with because this will be such a limited production special purpose Camaro and only the Z51 package is available so far for the new Vette. It'll be curious to see the reality of times this puts in vs. the Z51, but no way in hell a Camaro, even a special purpose one is going to be faster than a Corvette on the track when the full lineup of Corvettes is online for a given generation. That would be fucking with total brand strategy, and while a Camaro guy can pitch some spin to a submarket, the suits up the line aren't going to mess with a long standing formula.

We will have to see what the z51 is good for. It can pull some serious lateral G considering the tires it has they are relatively small and hard. I honestly think both will be faster on a race course than a GTR with a decent driver. Anyways, not a bad time to be a car guy.

I'd argue pretty safely I think that this is the best time ever to be a car guy really. Some aesthetic designs from the past had more swagger, but that's subjective. Objectively speaking everything is better as far as I know. By a loot. Hell, even over just the last 10 years there are big jumps in practically everything.

Curious to see what the numbers are for the new Z07 (not Z06).

So I am frustrated by the naming convention used. The last few years you could get a Z06 with the carbon package sans the decals (effectively a LS7 power ZR1) and they would call it a Z06 with the Z07 package. Anyways, Z07 will be a 4.5 liter TT motor 600 hp.

Yeah, I was going pot post about what looks like a smaller displacement TT for the new ZO7. Interesting . . . if it's forged everything from the factor, could be a ridiculous tuners platform out of the box. . . for those who want more than 600bhp.

Here is a another Z28 Vid from Jay Leno's Garage. I think this will be the same shocks on the Z07 and notice the 3.91 gear.

The Z51 is faster than a GTR and slower than the Viper. This sets the state for the 2015 release of the z07 and the next generation GTR.

Looks like next Gen GT-R is going to be some kind of hybrid.
