Default What If ?

What if GM didn`t come out with the LS2 engine, and used the LS1 in the C-6?
Where would we be today? Hmmmmmmmmmmm
Any thoughts ?

What if this is all a mirage and we're not really here?

There probably wouldn't be a C6. No need to change the gen.

It's the same basic block. You'd be 50bhp down, that's all.
