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.

It will be fun and interesting to see how it turns out. Two things we know.
The competition between Ford and Chevy is the strongest it's been since the 60s.
Chevy could have updated the interior and dropped an LS9 into G5 (Dodge) but instead chose to match Ford with a new platform.
Exciting times!
