The grass is always greener on the other side...The only reason that engine both meets emissions, and develops as much hp as it does, is because they rev it to the moon...and you just can't take the same approach on a pushrod engine.

For that...we may have to wait and see what this new "LT5" can do.
I'm talking about the engineering behind the motor. Whether or not you are a fan, you have to respect the work put into it.
