What do you guys think of the ZR1 so far? Don't forget to get your chance to win the C8 Z06 here: www.tapkat.org/ms-solutions/VEJpj9?promo=HPO 👍👍

[@lukeywalsh]

Sounds great. In addition to the hood scoops, it (seems) like hood's nose dives down a bit compared to the Z06. I'm it's an optical illusion from the camo but would be interesting if there was a slight change in the body as well.

[@iowa61]

Another bizarre blend: Transcendent engineering and performance wrapped in the busiest, most chaotic design since the Pontiac Aztek. Unbelievably ugly.

[@lukeywalsh]

I like the C8 Z06/ZR1 body, but I agree it would be better with cleaner lines and smaller rear end. @@iowa61

[@ProtectiveDadPranks]

The ZR1 is gonna be a total BEAST 🔥

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

100% It's insane!

[@georgiafan6618]

I like the current interior - don’t mind wall of buttons. Good job on that quality looking interior. Love this corvettes and overall the car is gorgeous. Can’t wait to see what GM does with the ZR1. 👍

[@johnglynn7795]

Justin, Thank you for sharing the updated info on the C8 ZR1.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Any time!

[@2020matrix8]

If No Flat Plane Crank then No interest for me. I am pretty confident this car will have a flat plane crank in it regardless of the displacement. Hell if we wanted 850 hp 6.2 we could just go put some turbos or superchargers on our Stingray and save $150,000. Guarantee this will have a Flat Plane crank in it with a lower displacement than the LT6 🤞🏼

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

That's kinda where I'm at...

[@jowga]

active aero fascinating

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Agreed. That's the way to take this car to the next level!

[@larrynewberry3500]

Wouldn't everyone be surprised if the 6.6 was in one of those cars for the future GS Great video and thought-provoking.

[@42obed]

I noticed two different hoods on the close up

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

They definitely looked different. I think there's a lot still being tested by GM here.

[@mikelewis2456]

All sounding very exciting Justin whatever Chevrolet decides with ZR1. I’m top of the list at my dealership. I can only dream🤞😏

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

nice! I hope you get one!

[@chozn4service]

GM/Chevy always makes their performance cars reveals at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the month of May. I’m betting this will be this years Pace Car. Either way, I’ll be there to see if it’s ZR1 or Z06 yet again. 😊

[@keith8880]

Regardless of whether it's flat or cross plane I'm certain it'll be an insane ride. But I wonder what's the possibility of a crossplane dohc engine?

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

That's what I'm thinking it's going to be!

[@keith8880]

@@HorsePowerObsessed I'm imagining a twin turbo Corvette c4 Zr1, that thing was crazy naturally aspirated

Do I see charge ports? On 2 cars there are charge ports on the drivers side rear

[@BillSharp-rm5gx]

The ZR1 will be fast a very expensive ! Great podcast and very informative Justin

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Thank you!

[@_VelociDad]

ZR1 needs a manual transmission option!

[@steviejones9168]

What about a TT 5.5L cross plane crank? Would that be an option for GM?

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Yup. I’m thinking that may be exactly what we get.

[@cyclone2424]

please tell me you understand the 5.5L from the zo6 c8 is not a destroked 6.2 pushrod, it is a new overhead cam made specifically for the zo6 and it is confirmed to be the engine used in the twin turbo setup they,ve been testing

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Is this a serious question? Of course I know that the 5.5 FLAT PLANE isn't a destroked 6.2. However, I don't see how Chevy would use that same engine with a twin turbo setup.

[@randallmason9687]

It would be great to have across plane version of the 4 valve engine, with turbos!!

[@jowga]

I want that 5.5 flat plane lt7 in my driveway

[@cassiespencer6134]

I hear ya. However, I prefer the engine be in the car. ;)

[@jayjones3458]

Maybe they are testing a hybrid/Zora here? 1000HP? And all wheel drive? Looks like winter/snow.

[@Texas_Clay]

Well done justin. You were clear and informative. To the point. Thanks

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@bmcsma417]

@HorsePowerObsessed Do you think a 2024 zo6 with the z07 performance package hold its value? Is it worth it for a $10k mark up?

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Yes I do. That's not a bad amount over!

[@bmcsma417]

@@HorsePowerObsessed thanks for the response

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

@bmcsma417 anytime!

[@mody6930]

The chassis should made out of carbon fiber monocoque and more carbon fiber components to reduce weight.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

While I'd love to see that, it also increases cost quite a bit.

[@nicklovely6431]

Youre seeing the zora in some of these pics

[@jonwheelis2037]

Nice Vlog Justine!!!! Shame Chevrolet has / is taking so long to get this car into production let alone what it is going to take to get one with all their Aero issues of availability!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@seanstanley2618]

I’m pretty sure they could just change the pistons and injectors for lower compression and to handle boost ? Wouldn’t that be the fix ?

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

lower displacement is the fix to keep it as a flat plane.

[@illiyakuryakin3092]

Nice job on the video and good information, Justin. Drive safe. Oh, and I like the dog bark!

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Thanks, you too!

[@rdeh1678]

Was hoping it would go the lancia route , with both supercharger and turbocharger

[@kevinking8513]

I wonder if the Ferrari 488 gtb and F8 Tributo have reliability issues. Both of these cars are twin turbos flat plane engines

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

It dropped the displacement from the 458 to maintain reliability.

[@LT4POWERED]

Hey is that your dog barking at about 9:54 😂

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Lol yup! I filmed that particular part four times and every single time he barked.

[@LT4POWERED]

Lol I actually went back to listen again to confirm it wasn’t a live noise here

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

@LT4POWERED my dog knows when I’m recording I swear…

Excuse me but Mc Laren 765 LT is a flat plane 4.0 twinturbo equipped with balance shafts to cancelled the secondary vibration.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Exactly. I said up to 4 liters but 5.5 is too high to be considered reliable with forced induction.

[@jokerface4491]

@@HorsePowerObsessed Sorry but Mercedes E63 AMG have a 5.5 Twinturbo V8 very reliable.

[@mottexxl]

​@@jokerface4491 E63 amg engine is a crossplane not flatplane crankshaft which means that he was not speaking about that m157 engine from the E63 amg

[@mottexxl]

​@@jokerface4491 or you mean the m177 engine which is an 4.0l engine but I'm not certain if that's a flatplane crankshaft

[@jokerface4491]

Are you out of your mind ? I never say that.And the M Laren 4.0 twinturbo V8 have a flat plane cranckshaft to reach 8500 Rpm redline.That's High revs are impossible for crossplane V8.

[@fredeb67]

A smaller displacement enables lighter internals and higher RPMs.... GM needs to work on their parts suppliers or start making parts in-house like they used to some forty years ago. GM is such a large organization that it would be an advantage to manufacture their own parts and not be held captive. They should have their own in-house carbon fiber, carbon ceramic brakes, and chips manufacturing. Even if one could afford these cars, they probably would not be able to buy one because of availability. Then if they found one, there is a great chance there is a ridiculous mark-up.

[@sstevocamaro]

Since this car is coming out, do you think this is almost the end of the C8 and a C9 might be on the horizon in 2026?

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

No. We still have the Zora model to go.

[@rickdearmas]

Gonna be flat plane and turbos. Too much demand for that. They will figure it out. Can’t make a flat plan engine and leave it only in the Z06. Also a refresh is due! Inside and out.

[@BananaJDM]

So many cars have active aero lol, Porsche RS/AMG/Lambo/and so many other cars.

[@samholcombe3129]

At this point, Chevy is just pranking everyone, we won’t know until it’s here. That said, I think it will be a cross plane twin turbo version of LT6. Didn’t Ford do the same kinda thing with Voodoo to Predator/GT350 FPC NA 5.2 to GT500 CPC Supercharged 5.2?

The engineering is otherworldly. Corvette is once again the best car in the world factoring price and performance. But the design is a mess beyond belief. Lines and angles colliding, A nose that looks like it was chopped by a giant ax. High beltline and doodads hanging off it everywhere. It looks as aerodynamic as a brick.

[@brycecampbell4845]

Can you imagine parking a brand new car back at the dealer where you bought it...because electronics problems? That's many baseline and ZO-6's... why would the zr-1 be any different. Amazing car. But completely Un-refined and un-reliable.

[@StephenPerna-cf1vr]

To all the Corvette Owners and Drivers good luck buying a C-8 Corvette whatever model you want!!! My C-7 ZO6 is enough for me, it’s paid for and it’s got very low mileage and in general it’s awesome!!! Driving a C-8 with 800 + hp is like carrying a pistol without a license to carry!!!

[@thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal2921]

The upcoming ZR1 coming to market with different trim levels is positive, but make no mistake it will be the ZTK package that is the UPCOMING 992 PORSCHE GT2RS FIGHTER. After recent events in the Z06 world regarding the FACT that they are technically DETUNED from the factory and GM told the complete truth that it was a McLaren 720s competitor IN A STRAIGHT LINE once the customer opened up the breathing of the car. I can only imagine the ZR1 to be a rocketship that very few people could even enjoy on track because its simply too fast. Whatever it is, the Y chassis C8 cars are absolutely destroying ALL other major sport car companies REGARDLESS OF PRICE.

[@deodathramheerai]

You are WRONG about almost everything ...The REAL reason they are showing this off to the dealers is because GM expects massive pushback and hate over the pushrod engine in a $150,000 to $250,000 dollar car because that's Ferrari and Lamborghini money for a car that will have the exhaust sound of wet farts . No matter how much power it makes or it's lap times that car will FLOP ..That's GM's real fear

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

I think YOU are wrong about everything so I guess we're on the same page. 🤷‍♂️
