Matt, your argument doesn't work. There's nothing wrong with the LS series of engines. In fact, the LS7 is a very modern take on a pushrod design. Just because it's an old design doesn't mean it's a bad one.
The truth of the matter is that with these big V8s, whether they are pushrod or OHC like my 5.0, you don't need to use but a couple gears to get around in normal driving. When I drive I usually shift from 1-4-6 and have plenty of get up and go thanks to the amount of low end torque this car has. The only reason it has a skip shift feature is so the morons at the EPA drive the thing correctly. There is NO need to go 1-2-3-4-5-6 in a car like my 5.0, let alone a C6 Z06.
