Car is great, but not different enough for me to want one. Plus, all the cool engine stuff will bolt up to my car. Thinks, like the new oil pan, new intake manifold, and hopefully when the Z06 comes out the new 3-valve head.

I honestly think the 400 hp is a lie. Take a Z06 that puts roughly 350 to the ground (420hp) bore it out to a 6.0 (365 vs. 345) bump the compression from 10.5 to 10.8 (ls1 is 10.0) add a much better intake manifold and a better air bridge, and a better stock exhaust. That doesn't add up to less horsepower. The heads are "worked over" ls6 heads. The only thing different is that the cam insn't as aggressive as the ls6. I'm guessing it'll be closer to 450... wouldn't be surprised to see the ls2's putting 370 rwhp in stock form.
