Arrow Future Corvette ZR1 will come with 785 horsepower

Just saw the news from here:

http://youwheel.com/2014/03/31/rumor...85hp-turbo-v8/

Not sure the accuracy, but if the ZR1 will exist it must have enough advantages over the Z06 model.

Well if it does end up to be true, F12 and Viper won't be happy

With the new upcoing CAFE and emissions regs, it will be interesting to see if Chevy can actually fit a production engine like that in with the rest of its fleet-averages on the street (including the Chevy/Holden SS, other Corvettes, and high-performance Camaros), and still stay within the law. It's possible, but I wouldn't bet on it. And even if it is possible, there would probably be a pretty hefty gas-guzzler tax.
