I am always impressed by those cut away engines, a lot of engineering and machine work goes into that just for a show piece

Nice video. Several car mags have stories on the LT5. Surprised at the number of the differences from the LT4.

I don't see GM going with a low production run.
IMO, they will keep making them as long as they sell at non-discounted prices.
