If my thinking is, in fact, correct, what current engine would be the best option to power a potential 5th Gen Z/28 that would keep the MSRP competitive with the Boss 302's price?

It looks like the 1LE does well against the BOSS but we will see in the mag comparison tests. There are no other engines to use in the Z/28 if the LS7 is too expensive.

Shno, sorry for that Alabama beat down last night. Must have been tough to watch for you.

Also, we love the Pink Pace Car. We love almost everything to save the ta tas.

It was brutal to watch...... the first time ever I really thought about turning a game off and doing something else. I ended up watching just to try and find a silver lining.... there wasn't one.

I will be glued to the TV again next weekend win or lose......


GO BLUE!!!!

My buddy played at Michigan State. He iss still the strongest man to have played at Michigan measured by the 225 forty some odd times. More than Tony Manderich without steroids. When Joe went to State that was the end of the m shcool.

..watched some of Hotlanta Nascar this evening, thought I saw the same color on the pace car. There's nothing... NOTHING like a Nascar race...it's American Patriotism, belief in the Almighty, and a unity within the fan base like no other with a military fly over to boot...at every race. Gotta love that. The start is better than the Super Bowl....every week.

Ok I need to vent.

Just got that dent in the Cruze fender fixed with the paint less dent repair. Looks awesome.

Now Mrs. Number 3 comes home from shopping and we discover a 4" what looks like shopping cart gauge in the front fender of the Q5.
