[QUOTE="EJChevy, post: 178260, member: 3417"] Fair enough re: complaining. I can see them going for 700-850bhp in the C8 Z06. I don't think a V6 could do this while maintaining OEM factory reliability, hence them sticking with the V8. Each manufacturer is doing different things to attain higher fuel efficiency and lower emissions. Ford is going small-engine with turbos, GM is going with cylinder deactivation, and FCA is... well, I think they're ignoring it altogether. haha That being said, the engine in the Corvette is technically a SBC, as far as we know. The LT2 in the Stingray is. The only change is the style of the crankshaft in the Z06. I'm sure it's not going to be a DOHC engine, which would really make it "non-American". As shown in the video I linked above, the Shelby GT350 has a flat-plane, and I think it sounds great! Edited to add: If you throw OEM reliability out the window, DTM race cars are running 2.0L turbocharged inline 4-cyl engines right now. They're pumping out a crazy 600whp!!! [/QUOTE]
