Besides, Re-R&Ding a setup on the same chassis/body/tech doesn't make much sense anyway. And pulleying the LT4 is out of the question from the factory; they could never have that under a warranty without over heating problems and other stuff that wasn't engineered into it to meet the 100,000+ mile expectation people have of the Big 3's performance cars.
I fully expect that the ZL1 will be the slowest in a straight line in this gen, just like it was last gen. It already doesn't beat/hardly ties, the last gen competitors (662 HP GT500 and Hellcat, both will hang right with it or narrowly beat it transmission to transmission). Typical Chevy.

Camaro needs to step up, ist the 2018 redone GT that runs easy 12.0 with the 10 speed auto, than the 475 hp bullitt, and now the GT500 700 plus hp. All of a sudden Camaro is the underdog.
