As much as I love the German and Italian stuff, there is something primal about good old 1960s big block American muscle.[/quote]
The new LS7 is pretty close of coming back to the craziness of the big block. I heard w/ TT, those things can easily hit 700WHP. I love the sound of the big block V8 too, but I’m partial to forced induction. A lot of the closed deck iron block I6 from Japan (GT-R and Supra) are hitting 1000WHP. Those things don’t have very good 0-60 due to turbo lag, but they’re total highway monsters.April 23, 2009 at 5:31 PM #386688Participant[quote=Allan from Fallbrook]

I think they (GM) still do, you just have to pay to play…(Sorry Eugene, this thing would demolish your Z06…But’s it’s a vette too….Mmmmmmmmmmm…..)
No fat in the ZR-1
http://www.leftlanenews.com/chevrolet-corvette-zr1.html
(conveniently out of my price range) Why can’t GM sell that at 50% off?
Note to soon to be parents: buy a two seater before you have kids…Or after you have a 3 car garage…Otherwise you’re stuck with porky 4 seaters with a car seat…
[/quote]I don’t have a Z06, I’m too cheap for that. I have a loaded low-mileage three year old 3LT, for which I paid just under 30K.
I found that having kids does not preclude me from having a two seater. I’m alone in the car 90% of the time. If I have to take one kid somewhere, I can always put him/her into the passenger seat. The only situation where you really have to sacrifice is if you have two or more kids and you routinely take them somewhere, like daycare or private school.

Eugene, this makes perfect sense to me. Can I borrow your wife for a few hours to have her talk to mine? 🙂 Just kidding.
