Check out the new GMC Acadia that is replacing the TB/Envoy... it's even better.

While I don't disagree with you that the new ones are better, I'll take a maintenance-whore german engineered rattlebox anyday over any GM toaster, however euro-inspired it is. (but a sierra for a heavy duty hauler might someday win over $40k of mine)

to each their own, everyone has different needs/wants in their cars.

I know I've asked you this before, but is a Z16?

Any torque numbers on that LS3 or did I miss them when I skimmed the article?

Can they please make a friggin Z06 drop-top already!

a Z16 is the Le Mans Commemorative Edition Z06... the differences are racing wheels, carbon fiber hood, badging, shocks, suspension... and the stripes there were only 2024 of them made and there are probably about 1800 left.

I always think it's a typo when I see you posting about your Z16, now I got it!

The LS7 is just about strong enough to handle a cam and bolt-ons. There have been some bad outcomes when putting boost to it. However, there are a few well running nitrous cars...but again...it's a glitch in the tune away from being a pile of scrap. Either way, those things are potent out of the box. It takes almost nothing to go 10's, and I'm sure cam and bolt-ons would give you a nice, reliable low-10 second car.

If you ask me, the new LS3 in the '08 C6 looks to be the perfect platform/introduction to add the blower too for the SS/Stingray/Blue Devil.
