[QUOTE="Riley P, post: 133270, member: 2"] That is really neat news.....except for the lack of a manual transmission. ugh. Time to buy a Camaro. Just kidding, but I loved how Chevy was still offering it as an option even though I'm sure most Corvettes sold are automatics. I would like to know more why they chose the flat plane crank. All the Ford fan boys are going to be roasting Chevy for following Ford....just like the aluminum in trucks, and smaller turbo'd engines, blah blah blah. :D But, anyway, back to the flat plane crank. Ford has to put a giant rubber wheel on the crank just to control the harmonics, so I can't imagine it being a super efficient layout??? However, it sounds awesome and I'm sure they have engineers to figure all that harmonics stuff out and show Ford how to make a real flat plane crank engine. :D [/QUOTE]
