[QUOTE="MikeC8, post: 201519, member: 5832"] I didn't purchase it to store it. I don't even plan on having it for more than two years. I enjoy vehicles and tend to switch out of cars often. With that said, your idea that the American V8 cars will be around in 10-15 years, no they won't. I just don't think they spend any more money making the V8 better, faster or more efficient. Hence we are at the height of technology for combustion engines. I don't think you have a grasp on how quickley the auto world is going to shift to electric. 1. Tesla is worth more than any other American automaker 2. Many European countries have banned the sale of combustion engines starting between 2025 - 2030 - incl. UK, France, Denmark etc. 3. Automakers flagships are becoming electric. Think mustang e, Jaguar XJ (2021), All Volvo vehicles in 2022 will have some type of electric drive train assist. All these things point that an auto company's R&D dollars will be spent on electric and not making better V8's. All I'm saying is that the LT2 in this corvette might be the last re-designed N/A v8 going into a sports car. Especially a mid-engine sports car at that.(worldwide) Yes, oil production will continue for much much longer as many things require oil, and the remaining gas/diesel cars will be around as well for probably another 25-35 years or more. But that was never my point. I agree oil production will be around for a long time. The American V8 not so much. Well at least that's what the stock market and Europe think. (oh and I think Vancouver banned Gas cars starting in 2025 - 2030 as well). M [/QUOTE]
