If they did that you would lose all your material. How many dyno threads did you have to search through to find one that put down 450 rwhp? Or did you just make that up?

Sorry try about 500hp or a little over to the rear wheels.

I want to see them along with the new 1LE package in 2017 MY which means 2016.

Recaro or similar seat options in all Camaros. You know, we still have not seen a video of the power sunroof in action yet.... Would like to see how that looks. Wireless CarPlay would be nice to see.

#1 thing I want for all the 6th Gens is supreme reliability on the track, which is the most brutal any car is likely to see!

Maybe make one of the new models called and badged as Panther.

Read through the threads in the ZL1 forum, many ZL1 Autos are struggling to get out of the 450-460 rwhp range? The manuals seem to do a little better but are slower in the 1/4 mile. The ZL1 is under achieving while the Shelby and Hellcat are over achieving. When the 13/14 Shelbys are capable of 620+ rwhp stock and the Hellcat 670-rwhp, that 450-500 doesn't look very impressive. The new Z06 is only seeing 580-590 rwhp so thats not a good sign.

Let Chevy hit it hard with a true 625-rwhp beast which would atleast put it on par with the 13/14 500s, and a little less than the Hellcat. What do you think the next GT500 will be packing 700+hp with 675+rwhp is a good guess, If your going to introduce a new performance car wish list why not aim high. Let the Z/28 earn the track glory, make the ZL1 a street/strip bruiser.

Halfmoon's world where all Hellcats run 10's, 392's run 11's and ZL1's make 450 HP. I'd suggest he join the delusional on M6G but they kicked him out.

Listen if you are ok with the fact that 95% of the passes that a stock 580-hp ZL1 makes at the dragstrip are in the low-mid 12s range that's great, I would love to see much more. Now that Chevy has the track toys Z/28 & Z06 to play with, lets stop focusing on track only performance in the ZL1.

LOL...95%...where do you get all your stats? And I do frequent the ZL1 forum.

Why do you pick high numbers for Ford and Dodge but pick the lowest number you can find for Chevy?

When the ZL1 came out in 2012 what was the production GT500 and Hellcat making? What's that I hear....crickets???

The ZL1 was upped by Ford (expected) and Dodge (surprised me). I don't expect to up either in pure HP with the next Z?? but I do expect it to out handle both with ease...and yes I know you don't care.

I'm hoping of an LT4 with a bigger blower, close to 700 hp, just to see what what kinds of numbers you can make up then...

With the Z28 I'd like to see A/C and a nice radio and soundsystem and the huge Z28 decal on the door like the 79-81 model

Yea, mine stock put down 487 at the wheels. 450 is way too low. It's whatever tho. Nothing that a tune can't fix.

Hopefully after the 6gen is on the streets for a bit the ZL1 will be caught in some spy shots.

This may prove to be the difficult part. I'm sure the next GT500 will be much more competent on a road course than the last, which really wants as bad as some claim, what with all that FPG has learned developing GT350.

This coupled with what will no doubt be a nice hp gain, will make a hell of a car.

As much as I hate to say it the next GT500 will probably surpass the Hellcat HP and be lighter as well. It will definite handle better than the previous GT500 which the last GT500 did not handle great at all. Hopefully GM will see this and respond accordingly

The last GT500 didn't handle great? It beat the ZL1 on as many tracks as it lost to the ZL1. It handled fine for being a stick axle car.
