Damn thats pretty crazy bumping the new motors down to a 5.5L in the new vettes. But I cant say it wasnt expected now a days there trying to get the most power out of the smallest motors and with the lowest emissions and highest fuel economy. Wont be long till we have a 6 cylinder turbo vette with 500 hp and 60 MPGs lol.......hopfully they never take the V8 away from the Vette or Camaro it would break my lil heart lol

i'm fine with the DI 5.5, but if the C7 ends up looking like that, i'll hold onto my C5 for a while
