I was just going by what the chevy site says:

Exhilarating Performance

New 400-hp, 6.0L all-aluminum V8 engine
New chassis with longer wheelbase
i havent read much about it really. i do like the new interior tho. 100x better than the C5s.

I think the interior is still sub-par just like the generation before it. Yes new engine. Same HP as a Z06. I said it was leaner and shorter, tucked in rear end amongst other small things.

with displacement on demand technology the companies can start using bigger engines and still get decent fuel economy...the technology isn't very complicated either/inexpensive. I read a great article on the Magnum and mopar's version of displacement on demand, i'll look it up when i'm home. This is the technology that is going to allow huge V-8's to give us the best of both worlds.

Yeah, but still FWD V-8s are at the top of the 'Things that are officially Gay' list.

You obviously didnt see the Top Gear episode with the C6. They made it look like a damn Kia.

The GT will be nice, and the V6 will move down quite a bit. Look pretty gay IMO
