knowing GM they will fuck something up really important...

eitherway, i would buy one direct from GM for 9800 bucks and drop it in to replace the LT1

The Vettes are the ONLY thing Chevy has going for it. Other than that, Chevy sucks! Looks at any of the new cars from their "revolution" Ford keeps lookin better and better......

Something tells me this motor will sell for a lot more than $9800, if they make it available as a crate item at all.

Yes, truly. To go from this to the wheezing 30-year-old lumps they put in a lot of their cars, it doesn't make any sense.



I'm betting that 500hp number will end up being WHP in the end.
I would be surprised if it didn't do 500 to the wheels after reading that article. The head flow numbers alone- yeesh!

The new Camaro SS is probably going to be some FWD V6 4 door shitbox........

Dont get me wrong, I love all the older Chevy stuff still...
