The 1.7 on the lt4 was a huge waste of time. They choked the engine just so it could fit in the vette. Bad idea imo.

Chevy has stated several times that the Camaro will not be held back by Corvette . The undiluted LT4 in the CTS-V gives proof that those days are over.
The Camaro lost to the Mustang in straight line acceleration only and kicked its tail in every other aspect including sales.
Agree that the 1.7 on the LT4 is a mistake and a bigger blower with a power bulge hood would have been better. Sadly, given the increased weight of the C7, a NA engine can't create enough power to make the C7 Z06 faster than the C6. Someone sold to management that they could cool that 1.7L blower so the pressure is on them to prove it.

We don't know if there is a Zora coming. All we saw were some spy shots of what may be a mid engine car that may or may not be a Corvette. It might not be a Chevy at all.

We don't know what engines GM is working on but we do know that those 3800 employees in powertrain are working on something. I really hope a NA engine and a higher HP FI engine are coming.
The Zora has been rumored for some time, a respected member of Camaro5 said months ago that vendors were already sourced and we've just seen a spy photo of an mid engine mule. Strongly suggests that we will see the Zora. I also think that those spy photos were deliberately allowed to temper yesterdays Ford GT reveal.
Thumbs up to Ford on the GT350(R), GT and FPC engine
