If I know GM they will not worry about HP numbers, but track times and actual performance on the road. Ford will definitely now try trump Chrysler.
The Z06 specs are out. It is rated at 650/650 from a 6.2L engine with a 5yr/100k mile warranty. A 7-speed manual with rev-matching or an 8-speed auto. It has 4 modes as well to adjust the car for different needs. There is no track times or 0-60's to compare.
It will be interesting to see Ford's reaction.
