Based on the LSA vs LS9, I think the ZL1 will get around 600 horsepower. That puts a power to weight of around 6.5 lbs/hp.

Unless Ford pulls out all the stops on a GT500 and cuts weight out like crazy, they will probably be similar in weight. I really have no idea what Ford will do for the GT500 engine. If anyone would top the Hellcat, it would be SVT with the next GT500.
there are so many rumors floating around about what SVT is doing its getting harder and harder to keep track. Here is a list of ones I have heard:

GT500 is dead
They are producing two GT350 Models, one a more affordable version, and one possibly a GT350R to tackle the Z/28, with most liekly a flat plane crank.
GT500 is coming back with more power than the hellcat

it is getting pretty crazy, about the only one I believe is the GT350, bc we have seen the SVT mule testing on the Ring, and the car is not supercharged.

I am almost to the point where I am just going to wait for Ford to say something, bc it is getting harder to keep track of all the rumors of the SVT mustang
