Lame. Ford pulls out 650HP flrom a 5.8...

sounds like a pretty sweet engine to me... Smaller means easier to fit into e30 bay.

no yawns from me

hmm its also funny that the M3 they compared it with goes 0-60 in 4.8 seconds when its listed officially as 4.4 seconds also the new Porsche 911 does 0-60 in 3.7 seconds hmm i like corvettes but really only 450hp thats not much more than the current base model power plant also BMW pulled 414 hp out of a 4 liter and chevy cant pull more than that out of 6.2 liters really?

Pushrods inside?

Chevy, everything down to the parts guys is still living in 1955.

I hate being dyslexic, I switch things around and mess up two letter words a lot IE: is, it, in.

to be fair, there are plenty of 8 sec built pushrod engines out there...the technology is old, but it works.

Why are they re-using the name LT1...?

[slammin.e28]

Why are they re-using the name LT1...?

They finally realized all pushrod V8s are the same so they may as well stop trying to make them different.

[E30SPDFRK]

Lets hope it's nothing like the old LT1's.

5.8l , 650hp supercharged? .... lame.

[PROLAZCO]

hmmm lets see, my Dodge Ram Hemi 5.7 liter pulls about 415 HP, and all im running is a cold air intake and slightly bigger injectors... sooo chevy adds another .5 liters to that and theyre only gettin 35 more horse power? (siiggghhh) this does deserve a yawn... :yawn:

Im sorry but i just feel like chevy is stuck in the 90's. and ford.. ford can go suck my horns ok...

I will say on the behalf of GM, I drove the new ATS the other day. Damn phenomenal car. Havent driven the F30 but this car I'm sure may be better.
