      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.

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

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

                            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.
