Default Re: Point/Counterpoint: DOHC v OHV

Most of the people who appear to have an appreciation of the LT-5 re in fact younger people, even younger than the Millenials. And don't forget how the
ZR-1 was introduced. It was in Europe and w the European press. Maybe we could ask our European brethren their view. The V angle and bore spacing also indicated a proliferation of the LT-5 motor into other models. The fact that Powertrain doesn't even have an example of the LT-5 in the HQ speaks volumes about silo thinking that exists through this day.
You can't tell me McClellan isn't a bit bitter about the LT-5 altho he'd never say anything like that. And costs would have been dramatically reduced with volume. If the LS wasn't a truck motor, you wouldn't have $50K C7s today either.
