Also, V12 engine descriptions!

Excellent! Looks like my info many many months ago on engine sizes was correct. And also my statement about no DoD for corvette at first. Looks like the L86 got rebadged the LS2 though.

That is soo cool ... it looks like Caddilac will build the Cien? what else could the V12 be for? I really like the V12 VVT Turbo ??? that has got to be good for 600HP without breaking a sweat...

A turbo for the V12?? That's going to be one hell of an engine. Maybe they are going to make the "sixteen" after all with a turbo V12? Or perhaps the Cien? I'd love to see that engine end up in a production car....which I guess the RPO lists suggests. Thanks for the great info. Where'd you get it by the way?

Nice catch. 6.0L engine, a slightly lighter car, the carry over suspension from the last C5's. It's gonna haul butt. As for the 6.4L HO, oh my! And what exactly is GM going to do with those three V12s? HP war is on. I'm finally starting to really get excited about the C6. :party:

Just one thing????


Could these be for the '04 C5??? why would GM put out RPO's for the 2005 model year already? do they do that often?
