the new merc marine engine is a work of art. but unfortunately I don't think it will see the light of day in a vette anytime soon unless someone stuffs it in there.
it's very expensive, heavy and big. doubt it would even fit.
the hoodline on the c7 is pretty tight. will the vette see another DOHC
yes. it's inevitable. but the C7 again shares the "truck engine" to maximize profitability across the line and allow the base c7 to be a very affordable and capable car.
as soon as chevy ponies up and produces a blown DOHC vette, I will be saving up for one.
in the meantime, the old LSV upholds it's honor quite well and is a joy to drive.
but I'm certain of one thing. one drive in the the c7 will "ruin me" the car doen't have have spectacular looks I crave, but it sure drives nice.
I'm resisting as I'm finally climbing out of debt with all my project cars and getting my daughter through school.
but by 2020, I'm looking at a new vette if I'm still kicking it.
anyone want to give me 50K for the LSV? if so, it's sold
