The original engine for the ZR1 was a twin turbo set up, but there were reliability and cost issues. When Eaton came out with its brand new 4 rotor design, GM snagged it up as it gave the same effency as a turbo with no lag. Its compact design was also worked out well for keeping weight down.
Ahahahah, nothing the Mustang does scares the Vette team. Mustang GT500 can barely keep up with a LS2 C6....not to mention the new LS3.
The LS7 will be replaced with the LSA, a ligher duty version of teh LS9. The LS7 is very costly to produce. CTS-V has the LSA, and the Camaro is likely to get one too.
and yes, this car has been out in the news for a while.

The Z06 uses the LS7 a 7.0 (427) Gen IV n/a engine that makes 505hp
the ZR1 uses the LS9 a 6.2 Gen IV with a brand new Eaton 4 rotor supercharger with intergral intercooler(thats what you see in the window)
427 was fine, but with its high compression ratio, its not exactly supercharger friendly. The LS9 got a lot of the LS7's pricey parts like titanium rods and valves, etc, and can safely make over 620hp with a warranty.
Corvette might take on a Porsche 911 type system where they have different levels of performance. Think GT2/GT3 vs Z06/ZR1 type stuff.

No its not but I believe it will be discontinued by 2010, to much money to make, but is a great 11 sec crate motor but a costly one.

Sorry guys, quoted the wrong person. I was talking about the LS9 being 100hp/L, not the LS7.

The new Saleen motor thats coming out next month is pretty sick. 5.0L, supercharged, twin intercooled, forged internals, fully ported heads, 620HP/600TQ....... on 5 pounds of boost.
