Who makes the best V8?
Well, Road and Track says that GM does!

http://www.roadandtrack.com/article....rticle_id=6169


"But when asked which car everyone loved driving the most, it wasn't even a contest — it was Ferrari's F430. So while the Corvette LS3 gets the honor as our favorite V-8, the Ferrari F430 is our favorite V-8 sports car. "


let the arm rasslin' begin

...although I've hung out w/LM and he is a very
smart man.

Also, having a Vette, I vote for the "small block" Chebby V8 myself.
Especially for the dough, to acquire one via in car or,
in a crate.

HOLY SHIT.

Who makes the best V8? Jeeez, I don't know! This is pretty impressive for a sub $70k car though!

Ah, I think I resemble that remark...

For the dough, it is the V8, imo. Let the noveau-riche
eat cake.

Agreed but you can't get a new Z06 for sub 70K. They are 75K plus MSRP w/o discounts and a lot of dealers are still marking them up.

pssst, read the other thread about GM supplier pricing

AND, Z06's have been heavily discounted for the last 6 weeks. Kerbeck had them for $7k off of MSRP since early November.
