C6 Displacement
It seems most new cars are getting a 6.0L engine, so chances are the corvette will too so it can share and keep the price down. However the gto has a 5.7L LS1, if the corvette is going to have something other than an LS1, wont the gto be the only car with an LS1? that wouldnt be very economical, so will the c6 be an LS1 or will the gto get upgraded?or what?

Re: C6 Displacement (hubes)
Good point ~ and only time will tell.
It all depends on how 'quickly' GM wishes to upgrade / introduce new vehicles....
Maybe the 6.0L isn't due out 'till 2005 or 2006 in which they can continue to use the 5.7L since their factories are already setup that way. :lurk:

The C6 on the other hand is a totally new platform. Chevy can do what they want with it.
But if you must insinuate that the Monaro, woops GTO needs a new engine, there is a limited version being produced by Holden Special Vehicles that has the C5-R (427) motor.

Re: C6 Displacement (Jinx)
Do the Australians make their own LS1 engines or are they imported from Canada?

Re: C6 Displacement (hubes)
Yeah but a 366 cu. in. doesn't have the right "harmonic" :jester
The balance is all outta whack ~ it's just plain un-natural. 327 & 427 have 'perfect' harmonics......they're proportionate.
Nah-h-h-hh......it should be some other number ~ maybe 367 or 372 .....you have to have 2 'odd' digits & one even digit......2 evens spells out bad luck. :jester

Re: C6 Displacement (verskel)
How about "365". That's the computed CID of the current 6.0L truck engine.
Sure sounds better than "346" - the CID of the current LS1/6.
