GM New LT6 DOHC V8 Engine
Well the new Z06 is unveiled with a rumored starting price of around 90,000$ which will be out of reach for 98% of people until the newer generation comes out and people can get their hands on used ones.
670 hp @ 8,400 RPM
460 lb-ft @ 6,300 RPM
and a redline of 8,600 RPM
I know there are those on the sight looking to scoop one up. We may have to add a new subforum for this engine.
Not sure if this is going to migrate to other platforms like the camaro,but I don't see it being something that goes into a truck. So it may be like the ZR-1 LT5 Engine from the C4 and only be small one off thing. Or maybe there will be a GM performance crate motor based off this platform in the future.
As someone who will not be able to afford the new Z06 (and new C8 for that matter) I look forward to seeing what people can do with this platform as well as to what chassis this power plant winds up getting swapped into

I can see how it makes sense for the application in question (C8 Z06), but it probably wouldn't be popular as a crate engine due to initial cost, complexity, and the (likely better) affordability of making this kind of power (and more) with older, simpler tech using forced induction.
