No, not in the vette, but a 327ci, 350hp Camaro would be nice. Bring back the Camaro.

This is a trick question right? I mean how can a Corvette have a smaller engine then it does now; you can't, it is against the law!


Can you say 427! 502?

Things you'll never hear an American male say.......


The t*** on that girl are too big.

My unit is too large, I sure would like a shorter one.

I wish I had a smaller motor in my Vette.

no, i was thinking of putting loud mufflers on it cause i think you get more power out of that than a turbo, and maybe a new air filter to balance the intake with the exhaust improvements

A header would be sweet too
