As per the original Jalopnik article, “It shoots flames from its exhaust. Which is good. Not enough cars do that from the factory” . And it was announced in Dubai....This sounds like an excellent plan. Dubai was the right place, they love that sorta thing.

GM has the perfect car to take on those Italians in the richest and hottest place on Earth.

You know what would be even better?

I bet it’ll out-sell the Trackhawk.

What if we take the ZR1 engine and put it in an LaCrosse? “GNX” to kill the Charger Hellcat?

Take the ZR1 engine and stick it in the Sonic

Remove the rear seats and trunk space and make it rear-mid mounted.

Those puny FWD chassis would implode. At most they shove it in a CTS or CT6 and make a V+. Great way to launch a tier above V, then we can get an ATS-V+ with a NA V8.

Chevy’s version of the Clio V6

Who said anything about realistic? It’s never going to happen. But it could*. Never mind the chassis in it’s current state, you’re adding 617hp... you can afford to beef it up a little.

*Do not confuse with “should”. Chevy should not build this, it’s financially idiotic. But SOMEONE should do it...

LaCrosse can be had with AWD though. None of this is realistic anyways.

“Me too guys!”

Kinja'd!!!

After looking for pics of burning Corvettes, I realized there are very few burning C7s out there. Chevy has a lot of work to do if they are hoping this ZR1 can “shoot flames” like the competition.

The V6 Clio is one of my favorite cars ever.

An LS/LT powered, mid-engined Sonic would be my new life goal.
