And I wouldn't trust either one of them to get me to the grocery store and back let alone go on a road trip. But I guess that's beside the point...

I would trust that 959 in a heartbeat. Porsche's are the only true exotic that can be driven daily. 959 was the pinnacle of engineering back in that era. It was only surpassed by the 996 Turbo in performance, and even then the 996 was not as technologically advanced.

True big blocks are designed differently. They have a lot of cylinder material. The LS7 engine has almost paper thin cylinder walls. There is no service life in that engine.
