I could see GM putting a ~500hp version of the 5.5L DOHC engine in a C8 GS and a ~650-700hp version of it in a C8 Z06. There is no doubt in my mind that if GM does another Grand Sport, it will keep in line with the C7 version. My '17 GS is truly a surgical weapon. It is lightweight and extremely agile. The Average Joe (including myself) cannot dream of pushing this car to it's limits. A C8 version would undoubtedly be in this upper echelon of performance as well.
