We will keep reproducing, and as long as some welfare family is 15 strong, the world will continue to degrade as natural resources flag and we are unable to support the burgeoning masses. As sick as...

There is no global warming problem. It's a crock of **** made up by people who weren't around in the 60's to hear about the global cooling scare, and too dumb to read about it.

I propose than an...

No, I'm frustrated bc I think that you guys are missing the boat. GM had a car with a dohc 4v setup decades ago. However, the pushrod design worked better, overall. Look at the ls3 and 7 heads and...

Why from a 4l? It would have less power under the curve, cost more, have more moving parts, and be less efficient on fuel. Look at the m3.

Well, since we are using ricer math, how about we crunch the numbers this way?

The VQ37 weighs about 370# and is 3.7L, that is 100# per liter. The LS7 is 7L and weighs 450#. That is 64# per liter....

Improving technology is GREAT! But when you have a $9 mouse-trap with 30 moving parts that won't catch as many mice as the $0.99 mousetrap with 3 moving parts--you fail.

Okay, the GT-R's engine/turbo's weigh over 600#. The LS9 makes way more power, and weighs around 500#. Lets go move for move.

GM is not "re-building glory-years". They are making the most power...

Stay tuned for when Ford actually puts some meat out back or you might as well buy a BOSS. At least it can put *most* of its power to work and the 0-100 times are within a tenth or two because of it.

I have got 3K miles on my Z06 and hit CAGS less than a dozen times. There are VERY specific parameters, and in the Z06 and I assume the Viper, they are a lot harder to "hit" than in the F-body I had.

Maybe you should show me another engine that makes the same (or more) horsepower and gets the same (or better) economy.

The LS7 is just fine. It weighs around 450#, makes 505bhp, and will get...

I know it's not a 7.0, but my 5.7 had the same feature, and I never used it. I still got over published mileage in the city, and that car was over 100K miles old. I am willing to bet my Z06 would...

How is it a fail comparison?

Paying for welfare annoys me almost as much as a $1000+ transmission fluid swap would. (I wish I made $250K, or I could be having this discussion on a Ferrari forum,...

Right, and but that doesn't mean you WANT to afford it. It's like saying "You make $250K a year gross, why worry about $50K in taxes to support welfare?" **** that.

Cruising on the freeway at 65-75mph with a few WOT blasts I got 26.02mpg calculated manually over a 119 mile round-trip.

What do you get in your 332bhp 370Z doing the same?

The only way the ZR1 is going to cost that much is taking tires into account, in which case, yeah, it will cost you are absolutely right. 335 series rubber is not cheap.

So what you're saying is...$400 labor + $400 for the ATF + the fluid/labor for the diff?

Other than brakes, nothing on the Z06 costs close to that to maintain. In fact, nothing NEEDS maintaining....

How is it BS? For the cost of ONE transmission fluid change in the GT-R, my Z06 is going to go 100K miles. (not counting oil-changes, which cost equivalent for the most).

Meh. Both the GT-R and BMW's cost out the arse to maintain in my opinion. IT's not oil-changes that get you, it's the $8000 brake-jobs and the $1500 transmission fluid changes.
