- On the fourth episode of the Chevy Society Podcast, GM Authority's Alex Luft shares exclusive news that the C8 ZR1 will be even more powerful than the 1,064 horsepower originally announced by Chevy. Alex also shares his thoughts about how the upcoming Corvette Zora will fit in the C8 lineup, given that it won't be the most expensive, but the most powerful.

Zora will be a C9 that’s why zr1 will be the most expensive in the c8 line
BIG BIG NEWS, if what GM Authority says is true. So the ZORA is a direct competitor to the FERRARI SF90XX, WHICH COST A MILLION BUCKS. So Chevy fooled everyone into believing the standard SF90 was the target of the bench marking? Makes a lot of sense until you realize that track focused cars in every manufacturers portfolio cost more than the luxury variants. Porsche sells stripper models like the ST for WAY more than a GT3, and the super wealthy trade them like Baseball cards. Hopefully that wont be the case for Chevy. Doug Demuro says Cadillac eyeing the HYPERCAR BUSINESS for the super wealthy at this moment, and we might get a actual road going LMP car like everybody else including Red Bull are doing, but at that point no regular people can even dream of such.
if the ZR1 can get anywhere close to 1,090 HP the Zora might be 1,250 HP and my theory is the Zora won't be its on model but just an add on performance package like the ZTK that way the ZR1 will still be the King of the hill and most expensive corvette
Even though logic would place the hp at around 1250, I would not be surprised to see it released with a figure more like 1400 to 1500hp. ... why? Just becuz They Can! they did exactly that with the new zr1 which weighed in with far more hp that the anticipated 850...
@@skip741x3 The Zora would be 1400 horsepower if they did factory e85 like the Demon 170 has.
I highly doubt that they would delete those features.
Zora should get its own body and looking nothing like the C8
Where's the Cadillac videos? Yall be slackin
In the video repeated many times is; it's going to be a "track car" and also lighter weight.
Let's first define track. What I am talking about is not a drag strip but a road race course.
Very few if any true track focused and true drivers cars are AWD.
Will awd do faster lap times? Depending on the weight penalty of the awd to the car you are comparing and the track layout, perhaps.
Why don't the majority of talented track drivers use awd cars?
The main reason is that they are not fun or rewarding to drive. The same reason why those drivers want a light weight car. Because it is a lot more fun to drive, more rewarding and faster.
Why do a lot of track guys want and manual trans? It's slower but again more fun and more rewarding to drive.
Sadly the new Zora as described in the video and the ZR1 as well are cars made for marketing headlines, profit and wining the spec sheet wars.
The ZR1 is a 4000 lb curb weight car! This is the weight of a Tesla model S.
If Chevy wants to make a true drivers car then take the C8 Z06 with the stock power of that glorious flat pane crank beauty and spend all the money to reduce the weight to 2800 to 3000 lbs add some serious ground effect aero. Put a manual in it and Multimatic dampers.
Will it be faster on the track? If it's the best handling most intuitive, rewarding, fun to drive and has the best steering and break feel of any Corvette ever made then what difference does it make and who cares? It does need to be said that at 1200lbs less, yes it will be faster on a track. Not on the drag strip.
There's a lot of used Mclarens for that kind of money and 800 to 1000 lbs lighter.
Wrong. No features will be deleted from the Zora.
Only two options.
1. Zora is a option package for the ZR1
2. Chevy was full of shit saying ZR1 will b most expensive
Im guessing an naturally aspirated light weight zo6 powered car with the electric motors in the front making it an 800 to 900 hp track weapon!!!!!!
