There have been rumors that the development of the 650hp 5.8 was with this car in mind. Until it's confirmed they're just rumors, but it's a real possibility. ZR1 is the king of American cars though and will continue to be until something faster is built. I doubt that challenge will come from Ford first though, it will come from the new Viper.
That is a very sexy concept and I would love to see it in production. I'm not against Ford just tired of the endless sea of 2013 GT500 threads lately ,and by saying "can't" I meant that currently, they can't compete with the ZR1.

I can't wait to see the GT500 on the streets and at the track along with the ZL1 to see how real people run these two great cars.
