I have nothing against displacement. I love it. My first love was my first Z/28. But I'm an enthusiast for all aspects of the sportscar, and it annoys me when someone can't concede that there are better ways to make power.

The SS is using said huge engine, and it's gonna be great with TONS of potential for growth. Guess what, most people are going to FI that thing with a blower, some will have the balls to try a turbo and really make it fly. The point is, they got displacement covered. Now strip a 1SS down to barebones, throw in a DI/FI set-up in there...not necessarily a 3.6, maybe a 5.3...and destroy some twisties in that bad boy.
