I agree they seem to have diverged from this position with the C7 Z06. |

I would agree with Mark but the Z/28 nameplate has been subjected to many insults to its heritage. Just goes to show you how quickly things like that get put in the backseat to emissions, cost, or simply PR stunts.

I think that's what all the speculation was about this test mule. It could literally be anything.

GM built a TT3.6 in a 5G for Jay Leno.
It was called a modern interpretation of the Z/28. Is it possible that the LF4 could be coming to a HP Camaro? Most of the work has been done with the ATS-V. |

Considering the LF4 is no more powerful or efficient than the LT1, I would say no. I never saw a comparison on the weight of the LF4 vs LT1, but with all the plumbing needed for turbos, can't image it weights any less.

Although the torque plateau on the LF4 is better than the LT1 unless they come with a hotter version it is likely not worth the difference stock.
Tuned is a whole different story, but I am not sure GM is embracing that market like Ford is with the Ecoboost line. I guess I am just waiting for the first TTv6 pony car. |

I do not see a 2016 Z/28 when the dealers are filled with 2015 Z/28's there not selling. ZL1 maybe but there not going to steal the Corvette thunder with the LT4 very fast. I do think they are going 2.0 4cyl twin turbo. and I think corvette is going to do the ZR1 next year that appears to be there cycle... 2017 that's a different animal. Ford threw the first salvo with the 600hp 6cyl twin turbo GT, and Corvette has to respond. 2018 Cafe' laws are going to be tough. That's why you see all the exotics Porsche and Lambo's and McClarens going to the 50/50 Gas electric system, So they can be sold in the US.

I don't see all the models coming out in the first 12 months.
Remember, the next generation probably won't be out for another 5 years or so. If they roll out all the models within the first 12 months, what will they do for the next 4 years till the next gen comes out? Coming out with a new model every year or so is what keeps the masses interested in the car. |

The Z28 isn't selling so a ZL1 and a ZL1R.
