It looks like they have done a nice job with the LT1. It's lightweight, simple, economical and powerful. And it's affordable. I am looking forward to seeing what the performance is like.

Coming from GM itself I like this line a lot “We expect those numbers to rise" concerning the 450 hp 450 pounds of torque.
