The new 5.0 is FAR more car than the fox body version ever thought about being. As it should be, though, considering it's roughly 20 years later. That said, Ford seems to be nailing it better than GM these days in some areas. I hope the guys at Buick don't screw the new GN up. Based on the article, things seem to be moving in the right direction.When they put the 5.0 badge on the new Mustang I gave up and now no longer care what the manufacturers do to sell cars.
FINALLY! When somebody tells me about the "bad twin-turbo V6" that is in their Dad's cousin's friend's grandfather's barber's Grand National, it will be TRUE!
And, they can stop telling me that "the GNX would be so much better with a V8 in it", because it WILL have a V8 in it!
What a blessing!
New LT1?
They didnt all come like that?
Seriously, I like the look of the new car. I doubt it has the mod appeal that the originals do just because everything is so locked down but maybe they'll surprise us.
The new LT1 is the new C7 Twin turbo vette motor.....
Jay,
The new V6 is the same design as the new C7 LT1.
I hope its not the car (4 door) they are showing in the pics...Itd be nice if GM could get this right.....
I would have thought that the twin-turbo 3.6L V6 would be based off the current GM 3.6L V6. The current 3.6L V6 is the DOHC, four-valve-per-cylinder one that is found in many GM vehicles (like the one in the Cadillac ATS, just to name one). The new C7 LT1 V8 is a pushrod, 2-valve-per-cylinder engine (like the current LS engines), at least from the releases coming from GM. They are two totally different engine designs.
Of course, the twin-turbo V6 is just speculation until GM actually releases information on it.
