GM is behind the ball on NA power offerings too, and while these cars dont compete with each other we all know the GT will be 480 in this Gen, then you have the Voodoo, Mopars big hemi(6.4?), etc. all making 480+ 530 is just barely more than the current GT350 after all, it makes more sense to take a leap forward in power now than all other Vette generations.

All the rumors I have seen are that the first engine in the C8 will be a reworked LT1 to make over 500 HP, not a new DOHC engine. How much over, I haven't heard. I am assuming it will be called the LT2. This is very believable.
Then next rumored engine after the assumed LT2, will be a 5.5L DOHC engine with a flat plane crank putting out over 600HP with a 9,000RPM redline. This, in my opinion, is less believable, but still a posibilty. The part I doubt is the flat plane crank with 9,000RPM redline. That's a bit large of a displacement for a FPC engine. It's been said 5.0 is about the limit for FPC because of vibration issues. Look how much trouble Ford is having with the Voodoo at 5.2. This could be done, but it will be tricky. The next rumored engine is the same 5.5L FPC engine with a twin-turbo setup for over 800HP. This makes sense if they can manage the 5.5L N/A FPC engine. Then, finally it's rumored that two electric motors will drive the front wheels for a total of over 1,000HP AWD. Crazy, but possible... |

I don't see them going FPC at all actually, especially at that displacement. If they do do FPC I would believe they would go smaller displacement like Ferrari |

The DOHC, TT V8 has had the CAD drawings already released, verifying identical architecture to the Caddy 4.2 DOHC Hot-V, TT V8...the difference being the low, side-mounted turbos instead of the Hot-V setup (for obvious reasons, as the ME C8 has different layout options than the CT6 FE). Displacement is anyone's guess. 5.5l has been floating around a long time due to the current IMSA C7.R and the 5.5l they are using. This DOHC TT V8 version is also rumored to be a hybrid powertrain with electric assist motors pushing the total output north of 900hp.

IF GM could find a way to help counterbalance the second order vibrations without adding too much mass into the rotating assembly, then anything is possible. It must also be noted the the "limit" for minimal NVH in a I4 enging is 2.0L. There are plenty of I4's that are larger than 2.0L, so we have to take the limit as a fuzzy line, not a fine line... |

The LT2 will be a hotter version of the current LT1, same exact architecture. 500 plus horses

Some of us are behind on our 'rumored' knowledge on the LT2 and what is going into the 'Z06' version of the ME C8. Take a jot over to the corvette forums and find all the info you need to realize what is already being designed and tested for the C8. The LT2 will eventually be in the Camaro SS. If the 5.5l TT ends up in a Camaro, it will best the ZL1 unless they do some weird $hit and put the 5.5 in the Z28 and put the ZR1 LT5 engine in the ZL1. Lots of powertrain possibilities out there because GM has been in full-development mode for 7 years with two separate teams being given the green light by the executive branch. If ford is successful in putting a SC on the 5.2 voodoo, I don't doubt that motor will be king shiznowski for it's clientele. That sound alone will be all it takes for the upper middle-classmen to plop down $100K to own.
All the while, GM be will lying-in-wait to drop the 5.5 TT on the world in a full carbon ME design that will kill everything in sight - and it won't even need 700HP to do it. It's damn nice to have silly-ass options like this to start saving for.

Be sure to let us know when they are done screwing around. The worlds slowest, most drawn out release has gotten old.
