Re: 2015 - Another no ZR1 year
It's a crate motor. Put it in anything you can shoehorn it into.

Re: 2015 - Another no ZR1 year
the new merc marine engine is a work of art. but unfortunately I don't think it will see the light of day in a vette anytime soon unless someone stuffs it in there.
it's very expensive, heavy and big. doubt it would even fit. the hoodline on the c7 is pretty tight. will the vette see another DOHC yes. it's inevitable. but the C7 again shares the "truck engine" to maximize profitability across the line and allow the base c7 to be a very affordable and capable car. as soon as chevy ponies up and produces a blown DOHC vette, I will be saving up for one. in the meantime, the old LSV upholds it's honor quite well and is a joy to drive. but I'm certain of one thing. one drive in the the c7 will "ruin me" the car doen't have have spectacular looks I crave, but it sure drives nice. I'm resisting as I'm finally climbing out of debt with all my project cars and getting my daughter through school. but by 2020, I'm looking at a new vette if I'm still kicking it. anyone want to give me 50K for the LSV? if so, it's sold

Re: 2015 - Another no ZR1 year
Thats true Dom two weeks ago at a show someguy asked me if my car came that way or did I order a special crate motor. Yeah I chuckled at bit. What really has been interesting is the response to Lee's MAP sensor cover. If they dont remember the history of the car they seem to remember that mercruiser did a special engine for a special Corvette.

THere is around 2000 less C6ZR to C4ZR While that would be great if a new DOHC engine was being produced for the C7ZR. It is highly unlikely though, the C6ZR extensive price tag did not come from the Engine. If GM did install the DOHC engine in the C7ZR the price tag would have to be 175K.

Re: 2015 - Another no ZR1 year
Lets not forget that the 1650hp version of the 1350hp Mercury Racing engine runs of race fuel.
I think in the C7 with teh GEn 5 engines, we are going to see the equivalent of the Cadillac/Camaro ZL1 with the LSA and the ZR1 with it's LS9. The ZO6 GEN 5 engine will be a warmed over blown LT1 with around 600hp, and the ZR1 GEN 5 engine will be a high output version with the better internals. Although even the naturally aspirated LT1 gets the forged pistons and crank. Something only the LSA(forged crank/hyper pistons)/LS9(forged pistons/crank). I'm wondering what blower they might use. Maybe a COPO Camaro screwcharger? 12657236 LT1 wet sump 12657248 LT1 dry sump Either crate engine is $10,700. Quite a jump over the GEN 4 LS3 engine 19256529 for $5,800. Heck and LSA engine 19257899 can be had for $8600. peace Hog
