There is no way the base Corvette will have a DI engine and the Top Corvette ZR1 will still be regular injection. I could see a S/C version of the LS9 though.

Still has traditional port injection.


I can't believe I called that traditional... I remember when it came out and was consider rocket science... I'm getting old.

That would fit nicely in the CTS-V! 600HP please. And I mean those big German horses (i.e. 600HP to the wheels!)

I don't think anybody was expecting the LS7 to stick around once the gen V's hit the scene. But we are expecting something along the lines of an 'LT7' -a next gen version of the LS7.

Meant next gen LT4 as the base hopped up even more.

Understood. Will be interesting but it looks like NA is gone unless you're in a base Vette.

One of the GMI staff writers just posted on FB that LT4 is 100% the Z06 engine.

Gotcha... I think all the nomenclature and code names are messing us all up. I just started reading some of the new GT stuff. I didn't even know they had a "Road Runner" motor. That's damned Plymouth talk...
