i dont know.. only time will tell.
This is true...we wont know until we actually see the next Z06. However...I have a few inside sources that race these cars, that have done testing on these next motors...they all say it is the LS7. We will see.
Remember the pic I posted of me holding a funky LS1 style intake a while back?
Well...its the same intake thats on these caddies. Here is a reply from a good source:

That intake is a LS7, for the big cubic inch corvette that will be coming out in a few years. Nice manifold and makes good power. When I worked at Katech we were doing the initial tests on that manifold. If you think the manifold is nice wait till you guy's see the heads it bolts on to. They are going to be a cross between the current heads and the C5R heads. I have flowed a few sets and they have all flowed right around 370cfm. Can't wait till they come out!!
So It also looks like we are getting some serious heads to go along with it.
