- ZR1: Still yet to come. Most think it will be a wide-body twin-turbo DOHC, basically a boosted Z06. I believe it will save the twin turbos for Zora and instead add a front e-motor to solve the one lingering problem with the Z06. Traction. We’ll see soon enough.
- Zora: Still yet to come. This will be all the goodies wrapped in one package. Wide-body. Flat-planed DOHC, twin-turbos, front e-motor. 1,000 plus hp.

I am one to think ZR1 is going to be turbocharged.
Too many signs pointing to it.
- 1. GM own parts catalog containing parts for an "LT7". If ZR1 was LT6+electric motor, LT7 wouldn't be getting referenced so soon. The parts in the catalog mention, "turbo".
- 2. Spyshot videos don't have it sounding like an LT6. Still sounds FPC, but definitely a different tone. It's not simply an LT6 under the hood.
- 3. GM at a dealer meeting showed off a camo'd ZR1 with the teaser saying along the lines( paraphrasing) that the performance will be turbocharged or something along those lines with the turbocharged term in it
