Pony cars are about HP, and it's time GM stepped into the ring with Dodge and Ford and offered another knock-out punch like the ZL1 did in 2016.

Truthfully, I dont think you'll see a ZL1 powered LT5. It'll be a different car, focused purely on drag numbers if they do.... and rightfully so in my opinion. It doesn't piss off/alienate the ZL1 owners, it's different enough to entice others to buy it, and it would be okay if its priced a bit higher.

Different time, and the original ZL1 was purely about straight line speed. And even then, they were called COPO cars first, ZL1 second.
