Actually I'm pretty sure the CTS-V is getting this engine and I'd bet it could be shoe horned into the Camaro but the Solstice "might" need some mods to get it in. With 600 streetable horsepower on tap I expect to see a few of these engines transplanted into hot rods ASAP!!!

Can you imagine a 70 Split Bumper Camaro with one of these between the fenders :)

I would cream my pants if i got the chance to drive the ZR1.
My prediction of a future Motor Trend cover story is ZR1 vs GT-R vs 911 turbo

Now. who is going to be the first to say it, 600hp isn't all that much... Remember we are talking about a GM showroom stock vehicle. Imagine the horsepower that will be unleashed from a pulley change, tune and exhaust. I'm expecting to see an 800 to 1000hp tuned version of this car with parts bolted on in less than 1 day. I'm not saying the engine will survive for 100,000 miles, but I also doubt many of these cars will ever see that in their lifetime.

I may never own one of these but KNOWING its there means that I'm NOT the only crazy man on the planet who shares my dreams.

well, according to Joe, 1000hp aint that much... but me, i have one of the fastest cars of anyone in the parking lot at work.

but i could see Lingenfelter making a 1200 hp version... Will Callaway base their new one off the ZR1 now??? well see when the time comes... but i'm still drooling about an Ls7 in a 4th gen along with a big cam and some slicks.
