Boy that's true. In a few years, I think blowers will be as well. I think everything will be turbo'd and small cubed. Nothing will sound a as cool as big cubed NA cars, but they'll make power. To meet EPA regs, that's what the manufactures will have to do. I mean at the heart of it, every engine is nothing more than an air pump, and if the bore size has to decrease, the only way to shove more air in is FI, and turbos are the most efficient FI out there.

you wont have to wait long. it's just around the corner.

You answered your own question. It has all of those things. But saying "the 4.6 sucks" just because it's a little behind the LS1 when it comes to N/A street builds is simply inaccurate, BECAUSE it has the ability to hold so much more power using stock parts.
I doubt it. I don't see the Mustang GT costing more than $35k MSRP when it's released. Z06 won't cost that much either I bet, unless they are positioning it between the old Z06 and ZR1. The Corvette's rising cost has as much to do with R&D and materials than anything else I'd wager. Performance/dollar is one thing, but now that Chevy (and Dodge) are making cars that approach the OVERALL package that you get with other $100k+ exotics, the prices reflect that. Quality ain't cheap, no matter what country it comes from.

I stated the 2v and 4v short blocks are interchangable nothing about now that makes it a "Mod" motor.

A mod motor is any motor that has interchangable parts to tell me that the ls1 or the iron block Ls1 or any Lq motors cant handle the same power as a shitty 4.6L is like saying ford has more nascar wins then chevy or more le mans wins then chevy

It makes me sad still to think no 427. There's nothing like the sound of the LS7 WOT to 7k. Man I love it. Glad I'm building one. Well, a 434, but who's counting.

big hammer

yes, I agree. I was hoping for a 600 hp n\a 7.0.

big hammer

but will the lt5 break the 700 hp mark?

big hammer

and will it be DOHC like the original ZR1?

You're officially the dumbest fan boy on this forum

4.6 has been faster than any LS based anything ....with stock block and heads ....

I'm not saying the mod sucks, just pointing out why it's used more frequently, and why GM motors continually are the racers/hot rodder/street builders motor of choice.

For the second paragraph, both will cost more due to R&D and material cost. Weight has to be reduced, and to get that done R&D and material cost go up. The base price might be 35 for the stang GT, but that's a big might IMO. The Z0 will cost base 85+and option out well over 100. Heck, the Z51 crest 72, and the Z0 will be lighter and have a different motor.

now you sound like the actual dumbest fan boi on this site.

I posted it in 2 threads because it was a stupid thing to say and I wanted to make sure people saw it.

I don't need to "keep up" (different definitions there bud!) with your 4.6, but thank you. My LS is currently not running anyway, but my 4.6 is.

I just agreed for the normal person LSx is the better swap candidate but it's fact that 4.6 stock block has gone 6.0X isn't it ?

Me too. With Cylinder deactivation I thought it could've happened, but I guess not.

I'd bet its a for sure deal. There's no way they'll let Ford have the highest HP American car on the market when the ZR comes out. My guess is a twin turbo'd destroked 6.2 down to 5.5 or so. Could be wrong, regardless it'll be bad, and I'd bet a bear to tune like the GTR was for the first few years.

big hammer

I just hope gm's plans for the Camaro come to fruition--- this will put the Camaro down to 3400 lbs where it should be, and it will have the new lt1 in it. that'll help me buy one!

big hammer

at what hp? we're talking power, not speed.

big hammer

it won't be 5.5. they'll stick with 6.2, IMO.

It'll be on the ATS chassis, so I think it'll be there. Also expect a TT V6 SS due to this.
