Those numbers are give and take and just a guess on my part. I seriously doubt we will see a 3,400 SS anytime soon regardless of what GM tries to do.

At this point I'm only speculating…



The Base Vette should get 450 Horsepower, the Z06 should get 550, and the ZR1 should get 680. The Vette doesn't need a drastic horsepower gain, especially since it will very likely be much lighter than the current model, perhaps a 100lbs difference in each model. More horsepower in a lighter car will only cause traction issues (though the wide ass tires will make up for that) and deaths of the many idiots that will buy the car thinking they can control the power.

Despite what many people seem to thinking, horsepower isn't always the answer, a lighter vehicle is more significant.

*just as a side note that last sentence wasn't a lecture, it was just a general statement towards many an idiot*
eh. Whats 50 hp between forum members?
