GM needs more displacement and STILL can't beat Ford at LeMans

And expect the Vette and Camaro to get higher-strung track variants like the GT350, see pic related. They already have an engine that puts down more power than the 5.2 Voodoo with basically a cam kit LT1.

>two sets, SIXTEEN fuel injectors
So is one directing injecting and the other is port injecting.

GM isn't very good at DOHC V8 historically, like you said the old LT5 was outsourced and the Northstar was notoriously unreliable.

Like >>17597476 said, they already have Ford beat. And they could always just Direct Inject the LS7 and make a 7.0L "LT7" that makes ~550hp.

freevalve ls when?

>2018 Camaro is getting the 10-speed too

The 2016 Camaro already has the 10 speed.

The ZL1, yea, but at double the MSRP.

>Freindly reminder that GM has NEVER made a more powerful naturally aspirated production V8 inside a vehicle under 40k dollars brand new than 5.0L V8 in the 2018 Mustang GT.

It's the same LT1 in the Camaro that makes 460hp in the Vette, and it makes 30ft/pd more than the new 5.0. They just advertise it 455hp lol.

Small blocks get better mpg, sound better, are smaller, are more powerful, cheaper

>>17597770
It's not bad, but the Mustang used to be a cheap car. A camaro used to me a cheap car as well.
Fancy ass shit doesn't belong on cheap cars, because it means they would have to cut down everything else to keep cost down.

Now you understand why GTR vs Corvette should not only be allowed but also encouraged

>developing a better engine is bad because a rival company does it

>>17597796
I kinda see your point and agree, but that's not the point of discussion.

GM and Ford and in a part, dodge, want to make their pony cars into full sports cars. Not the worst thing ever, but the point about pony cars were small V8s that could turn and weren't crazy expensive.

>>17597799
I still hold its not a fair comparition unless they change the GTR to be RWD.

>>17597834
so you accept the corvette is inferior and the GTR is much better then?

>>17597885
Yes. I just think both vehicles could do so much better
