Who will be the first to remove the 2nd, rear trunk and install twin turbos? Sooo much room back there.

If you put two in it will really be maxed out.

That’s what the trunk is for, holding all the other cams.

That's literally one of the first thoughts I had. Although the tuning aspect is a question mark at this point. The current zr1 was pretty locked down, and some aspects still are apparently. It's going to be interesting to see what happens!

For what? 0-60 is said to be sub 3 secs. If I had that Corvette I would let that NA LT2 purr (or roar whatever) and improve only handling if needed.

This car is done as it is and should be way more expensive to avoid selling to drag strip crowd. I would hate to see a 1000HP C8.

You have won the dumbest comment of the internet. At least today.

WHY WOULD ANYONE "HATE" TO SEE 1000HP OF ANYTHING!?!?!

Id have to agree. This car has more than enough power and, well pretty much everything as is. Pretty much a perfect car right off the lot.
