Sweet. I love Corvettes. But unfortunately Chevy is going to have to do a little better then that. Dodge is currently working on a new Hemi V10 for the Viper which is supposed to be putting out 700 - 800HP stock.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

Also in the works is a 6.1L Hemi V8 that produces 500 - 600HP.

Neither of these engines will be out until at least 2005 - 2006. So Chevy can have the spotlight.....for now.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Sounds to me like the performance and HP wars are on in the auto industry. I love it. They HAVE to keep raising the bar to beat the competition. Where will it end? This is great though. 5 years ago I never would have thought there would be a production sport pickup with 500HP on the market (the SRT-10). It just keeps getting better and better.

I couldn't have said it better except for one thing, the 6.0 powered GMC doesn't have the power of the Hemi and gets worse MPG.[/quote]

Wrong. I just spent the last couple weeks driving both of them. The Hemo felt better on the low end but not anything noticeable about 40mph. And the Hemi got almost 2 mpg WORSE on average....

THATS YOURE QUESTION ANSWER THAT IM A Mechanic Ya Know[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

What do you mean reacts you idiot! Engines don't react! NHRA has used the same basic HEMI design Chrysler came out with in 1964 because it ts the most EFFICIENT design...NOT because it RACTS faster....

You spell like a garbage carrier -- not a mechanic....idiot

That depends. That is like saying the same of a V6 to a V8 -- THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT FOR DISPLACEMENT..................PERIOD.....idiot
