I'm really curious to see what else they do with the platform. I'm particularly interested in a modern take on a Shelby GT 350, which seems to be in the works.

The new Shelby gets announced tonight at 7 our time. It should be interesting.

I like what they did with the engine. "The new all-aluminum V-8, with 4 valves per cylinder and variable valve timing (intake and exhaust", I just wish GM would do the same with the LS engines.

Boost, because sometimes atmospheric pressure just isn't enough.

Well, actually the LS motor is going to be easier to make NA hp. It all has to do with bore size. The LS is a better size than the 5.0 FORD motor. I'm sad. Looks like the LS is going to cheaper to build.

It's hard to beat the price of a LSx or a SBC |

The next Corvette is going to be a smaller displacement, like 5.4L~. I'm guessing it'll still be OHV. I wonder if they'll just shorten up the stroke of the the LS3?

I seriously hope not! This would do away with any aftermarket cylinder heads and ultimately become a restriction.
GM has had direct injection for some time. I can't comprehend why it hasn't been released on the corvette  . I would also like a honest twin clutch manual transmission instead of the automatic. We still need the full manual though for the big builds! |

Good point, I didn't think about that.
