All the top car makers have competent engineers.
The idea of the C8Z with the NA engine actually becoming a reality, meaning not a rumor or a pipe dream anymore, has been known for a couple of years now. So ford had time to counter back. How would they do that? And what car would they put it in? They're going to 1 up GM with a 700hp NA engine? And stuff it in what car? And price it at what?
The ford GT costs half a million. And the C7 ZR1 beat that car on numerous tracks for 1/3 of the price. There is nothing ford could build, even though we all know they can, that can compete on the level the C8Z will be on. ANd if they do, they'll have to charge half a mill again like their ford GT.
That's why corvettes have been FOREVER been the BEST value for the performance.
