So the 2.3L TVS is a panic blower? Lol

Well I read the article to which ya linked and it seems fairly certain that to do so, they'll be up against it trying to do so with that engine.

MAYBE… just maybe, they'll do it with a new platform… something technologically advanced.

And given that it's SVT… we should expect a bigger blower, of course.

Yeah , you know the engineers at Ford were like "what the hell can we do? GM just got 638 out of the ZR1! We have to do something!"

Bill Ford : (in complete panic voice) " throw a blower on it!!!!"

Lol!

Would ya like to offer an example of a production Ford that has a bigger one?

Rest assured that if ya come up with one, I'll readily concede to your point crushing precedent.

So with your logic, GM panicked with the ZR1 then.

With that logic gm panicked with the z06 for the ford gt and the zr1.

ZR1? My understanding is that Ford didn't even know Chevy had a ZR1…

That Ford built the '13 500 purely to compete against the technologically superior ZL1.

Which they did with a straight axle chassis, an engine bored to its max… and a bigger blower.

Hopefully, this as a means to buy some time to offer something that can compete with the rides that follow the stock, 11 second, NA, 30 mpg rides Chevy customers are driving off the lot today.

Cause that engine and that blower ain't gonna do it… .

But hey! Maybe there's no limit to the size of the blower a manufacturer can reliably install on a Mustang? Which if that's the case… they're SOLID GOLD and lookin' good!

I can't wait until GM and Ford start panicking turbos in their sports cars!

Truth is these moves are so statically planned they happen YEARS ahead of the release date. I just finished reading an article about the LS7 stating they started development on it in '03. That's 3 years ahead of its first release. A new motor design can't happen over night.

When they do I'll panic my way to a dealer.

What GM vehicle has a larger blower than the 2.3L TVS?

Ps. If you can't follow your own logic, you're more special than I originally thought.

OVA1

iTrader: (12)

What vehicle was it that threatened the Vette Line, which your hypothesis holds must have produced a panic on the part of The General?

Now just so we don't lose track of who said what…

Here you are accusing me of being unable to follow my own logic, even as you fail to sustain your own hypothesis.

Now how Special is THAT?

I don't understand, please be more specific.

Sorry Buddy… I dumbed it down to rock bottom.

Let me see if I can find the grandkids crayons… Maybe I can draw something up and get it posted for ya.

These GM guys are funny. They love to knock the blower when GM just keep upping the cubes. 7.0L, 6.2L, etc. Maybe the next Camaro with weigh in at 4,500lb and have a 9.0L but hey its N/A
