Hell, in a pole a couple years back around 40% of ZR-1 owners rarely IF EVER broke into the 6000s. And, I believe GM too is fully aware of the fact.
My point is, pushrods provide all the performance 90% of the GM Camaro and pickup truck customers and (sorry ro say) Corvette owners included will ever use. The problem is, for the remaining10% of us true performance junkies, coming in second...SUCKS! And, we expect better!

GM needs to be focusing on the next gen Corvette owner and not the one getting ready for the assisted living community w little to no garage space. The C7 may be the last Corvette that generation can support unless there’s a Corvette SUV.
