I think the "packaging" advantages of the OHV motor and the LS, in particular, have been conceded. Nobody's arguing that. The premise of this thread is really how and what kind of power is available from each architecture. In my opinion, the Corvette will always be described w a "qualifier" as in "its the best Vette yet" until GM steps up and replaces what is seen as a "truck motor" w something more sophisticated. I think you can extol all the virtues of the LS motor and show how it performs BUT it wasn't until the LT-5 showed up that the rest of the world sat up and took notice. At that point, the chassis became the focus of requiring an upgrade.
