C7 Info

My recollection is that the LS3 was developed for big pickups and then adapted to the Corvette. That sounds reasonable, I don't think GM can afford to develop a "Corvette/Camaro-only" engine in these times.

This new engine under development sounds like it would be good for the pickups, but I don't know what the truck lineup is supposed to be like in coming years.

Absolutely.

Besides... the L48 was a truck engine.


Seems like GM has a nice historical reference point there for throwing truck motors in sports cars.

just a comment, wondering how many people who posted on this thread have read the book " All Corvettes are Red '. It is an inside look into c5 development that covered all these elements mentioned in this thread economy,mid engine,styling politics etc. a remarkable book. I believe it is mandatory to continue the vette on schedule due to its status/history .It is an american icon. Maybe an electric vette lol
