The C8, much like the ZL1, was specifically designed from the start and built properly. GM spent a lot of time on this car. And they probably were working on it for longer than any of us realize. That is the difference between GM and Ford. None of the issues that Ford had with the Voodoo will be present on the C8 Z06. |

Yes, but you know the Ford cult.... er.... I mean Ford fans. One C8 will need the windshield wiper fluid topped off by the dealer, and they will scream the Voodoo is more reliable... The Mustang forums were doing some Olympic worthy mental gymnastics to convince themselves that Voodoo had the same small amount of issues that any new engine would. Didn't you have to replace two engines in the same car? I bet they probably blamed you too. Did you warm the car up enough? Did you check the oil every 100 yards of driving? Etc... |

I do like the sound of the Voodoo better than most FPC engines though (I'm sure it's the different firing order), so I agree with the point, but I wouldn't really call it a ding or something. The LT6 still sounds amazing. I just wish Becky could be here to see the new Z06! |

I hear ya.
A lot of those guys think that car is better in every way and I just don’t know how they think that 6cyl sounds anything but terrible. They don’t even want to give it that

The GT350 does sound great, but none of them have heard the new Z06 in person yet, so it still remains to be seen. That reminds me of back in my modded 1995 Trans Am F body days in the early 2000s (340 rwhp w/comp cam+FBO LT1 M6), I used to think the Mustang GTs sounded better, but I would destroy GTs in any race - even the modified ones. Sounds only gets you so far...
