Rumor has it the next-gen Z06 and ZR1 would both be blown...and GM has a LOT of experience with Direct Injection/Turbo combinations. This isn't out of the question.....and DEFINITELY exciting....I'm seeing a twin-turbo V8 next-gen ZL1...

The screen shots of the computer screen at 3:56 show a 3.6L displacement and March 08 test date. It may be a TT V6. Grand National possibly?

Good catch. This thing is over 4 years old. Probably a stillborn engine.

Is the door closing regular or coming down @ 27 seconds?

I'd rather say "possibly"...

We knew about the 6.2L DI V8 since....lord...when did that Ward's Auto article come out? I almost want to say it was during Camaro development. It takes a longer time to come out with a good engine than it does a good car.

If it is a TT V6 on that rack...my bets are it's likely being finalized for the right new-generation vehicle.

TTV6 is still on the way. XTS will probably be the first application.

No, it was a helmet being brought into the car, he probably was handed it after he sat down, or it had been sat on the roof and he was retrieving it,
