GM should do it.
My concern is that since the BW LT4 is hand built, I worry about a huge price increase for the 18hp. Unless they just give the standard LT4 the rotor pack, snout, tb and tuning . . . |

Besides, ZL1 doesn't really need any of the suspension or braking upgrades that the BW is getting. It's already going to outperform that car in almost every way because of weight difference. |

They would already know what margins they had for other areas based on the CT5 V Blackwing work. I suspect if this wasn't minimal they wouldn't even entertain it. After all, how many more ZL1s will they sell with 18 more HP? If anything, with the Z06 gone it allows GM to have ONE single LT4 build configuration and that has value.

Can GM spread that much cost over a low volume trim, on a low volume car? This sounds really cool though I can't imagine there is any business case to do it. |

The title should reflect that , says getting the blackwing. Not the CT5 upgraded LT4

And i asked in another thread a while ago when the CTs were uncovered if the zl1 would see the upgrade. The consensus was yes. I will look for it.

It would be more streamlined to make one version of the LT4 (which is not a high production engine to begin with), so this rumor makes sense.
