Rick, that's why I put the " it sounds like sour grapes" in my post.......heck at the price of any new vette....I can't even afford to pay attention!
I guess I should have said "envy"....because I do envy the newer stuff...C5 & up....those are some fine examples of home grown know how...ya gotta admire the end result from keeping it simple & staright forward!
I just have one fairly valid "but"........there is nothing like the sound of an LT5 in 2nd gear going thru a series of esses up around 6k rpms.......it sounds like an F1 motor and is glass smooth.....to me anyway
But you are absolutely right....there isn't much that compares to the LSx gen motors.....kudos to the engineers!
It's all good anyway!
Tom
