In all fairness that is not really a factual statement. After all we appear to be comparing the incoming ZL1 to the older Corvette. If on the other hand the 2017 C7 were already available or had some announcement already this might be more suitable. While I believe we can all agree that the Vette is the performance flagship in Chevys product line there's no reason why the new ZL1 cannot have more advertised horsepower than the 2016 Z06. The OP appears to be posing a hypothetical question in general. We can't simply accept one time slip or one Dyno pull as definitive evidence. It's probably more prudent to wait however I doubt anyone expected 640 as a number when the older ZL1 had roughly 580. For all we know the Vette can eclipse 680 or more so I doubt the engineers are worried about a glass ceiling. Somewhere there must be a memo that reads Thou shalt not produce blah blah blah. I just can't find it right now.
