A lot of "staying" has been going on...and on...
A new generation 7.0 would be an LT7, no? |

yeah I am guessing also, with the new "SS" coming standard with the LS3, either they have a HUGE stockpile of LS3/LS7's they need to get rid of, or they are not ready to share the tech wealth of the new LT motors I am still curious as to how there is so much tech in this engine for a measley 20HP increase

The hallmarks (or is that "haulmarks"?!) of the LT1, specifically, are significant improvements in TORQUE, an uptick in hp while improving mpg and carbon footprint...and a "secure" ECM.
With CAFE '16 at hand, combined with new-Gen weight/size rationalization, expect those already-broad perma-grins to W-I-D-E-N... |

Its called under-promising & over-delivering. I've seen a few videos where Corvette/GM people almost litterally give a wink and a nudge when talking about the 450 hp of the LT1. It will be more, question is whether it will be closer to 458 or 485. Quote:
Plus, I wouldn't be surprised if the Z28 were simply to use bits from the ZL1 for its exterior changes and have exactly 0 unique exterior pieces. Doing aerowork is time consuming and expensive, and they already spent a lot of time and money improving the aero of the SS for the ZL1. Why go through the process again to achieve the same results, for a car that costs less?
