you know, the LS rivalry is there and obvious.....it will always be there.
but there is another rival familiar to LS owners. one that thinks its at the top because of a m112 blower. and thinks 450-475 rules. stock m112's, ported m112's. cannibalism. coyote owners are gonna want a piece of snake for dinner.
and im one of them. snakes are starting to **** me off.

stock longblock cobras are already capable of all the power anybody would ever really need and maybe even want. Im sure most cobra owners know that in todays high HP world, a simple pulley/cai/catback 450rwhp setup doesnt "rule", its just a "starter kit" by todays standards. ESPECIALLY when the GT500 guys theyve been "cannibalizing with" have already been making way more than that for years.

True. Jack Roush and Don Bowles put an Open Comp car out last season(NMRA) for a few events(or more, Idonno) with a 7.0L "experimental" version of the 6.2L... I don't know ANYTHING to speak of about it, but I heard it made roughly 800hp N/A on E85. A precursor to what might follow... It may already be a DOHC, but the only views I got of it, I couldn't be sure. It was in a Mustang though, and I read it was only a SOHC version.
I haven't heard that the 5.0L is or isn't capable of increased displacement sans F/I. It wouldn't shock me, considering the flack they've surely heard over the past several yrs regarding the 4.6L. Then again, it's lived to run 8's in 5.0L form...

there are rumors/plans for 3 valve and 4 valve versions, but EPA and CAFE may kill all of that stuff.

what a terrible mistake. i tend to give cadillac credit for everything good at GM. note how the vette is based on the XLR... jk
Development of the Sigma platform began at Holden in Australia before 1998 as GWRD or Global World Rear Drive.
i thought it was the other way around. the sigma is the inspiration for ZETA. oh well.

Sigma II, larger and wider than its previous counterpart, debuted with the 2008 CTS, and shares more parts with the larger Zeta than the smaller Sigma I.

So I have to ask, just who the hell are you, and what makes you think you know about my car? I heard one of my videos was linked here, and can't believe what I am reading. My car has a roll bar in it, I weigh 270 lbs, and it goes across the scale at better than 3700 lbs. Is that not enough to be full weight?
