This Corvette ist better than a VW-Porsche 911.The engine will going to the Engine Award. It`s better than the Mercedes AMG 6,3 ltr. V8. Only BMW is better, for ever!

I too hate pushrods but GM has done wonders with this old design. Next year's superchaged Corvette will be the cat's meow. I wish that the Corvette had a larger-displacement version of Cadillac's DOHC Northstar engine -- the Northstar is available in the Buick Lucerne so there should not be an issue about using Cadillac engines in other GM models. Corvette has a non-steel body so you can avoid rust worries and pass the car on to the next generation if you take care of it mechanically.

with how much the M6 weighs it would need about 750HP to keep up with a Z vette.
