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
I'm not saying GM doesn't have the ability to make a new n/a LT engine but I am saying I don't believe they will. With the Z51 and Z06 being priced reasonably close, there is no room for another model between them. That would leave a higher end car and that would need to be more powerful car.

If the Zora is going to happen, and that's still a big if, I would be very surprised to see it being n/a. Twin turbos or a supercharger are much more likely.

That leaves GM developing a one off Z/28 engine and that won't happen.
