And the next-Gen LT family only promises more for le$$.

to be the yin to your yang, who would have thought the 190 HP V8 powering a 92 Town Car would evolve into the 662 HP monster powering the most powerful production Mustang ever.
Edit: Actually the LT1 in the 92 Vette isn't really related to the LS series engines, so the LS9 would actually trace it's roots back to the origional 346ci LS1 that appeared in the Vette in 97.
