Any chance of a summary??

[vetteheadracer]

Nope.

[Gixer]

Why not?

[viper paul]

There very common as Viper 'Starter Motors'

[vetteheadracer]

What is wrong with you lot? Can't you read more than ONE sentence?

Okay, Okay here is the summary.....

LS7 Engine will be hand built at a new plant in America and it will produce more hp than the LS2 (they will announce this at some American car show later).

Short enough for you?

Better then cranking your starter handle

6.0 is ok but it's not special enough to switch from a 5.7. The floating pins are a nice feature though. A cammed ls1 5.7 will make almost the same numbers and you can add on the ls2 intake and a cable operated FAST 90 mm throttle. Use the ls2 intake with ls1 28 lb injectors and new lower injector seals. Ls2 intake is noticably bigger inside, ie more volume. I'd like to know if the ls2 block is the same length as ls1 or slightly longer. I wouldn't want it to be longer.

So are you going to summarise it or not then.

[viper paul]

Yes go on Sumerise it in one line detail!!!

You Viper people must try harder to keep up. He did summarise it about three posts ago (but I admit not very well).

Sorry I shouldn't join in, I can't help myself. You have a big engine, not sure where the decent bit comes from though Care to elaborate?

[LuS1fer]

This one's easy. Chrysler have just announced a radical new departure. They've developed a truck that uses a car engine rather than the other way round.

The UK Government have announced an exemption that does not require Viper drivers to pass an HGV test. LOL.

.....Viper owners cannot spell Summarise either!

Driving a Viper is a bit like riding a moped or shaing a fat girl.......fun until a friend sees you

........that explains why I haven't yet seen a single Viper on the road in USA!

The words "hand built" and "very expensive" always seem to go hand in hand. Sounds like any Z07 could have serious premium pricing ZR1 style as opposed to the Z06 priced the same as the convertible. I guess they would try to justify a big price hike for a top range Corvette by comparing it with the more expensive Cadillac XLR.
