Wow - without the OHC/DOHC those V8's are very compact.
In the UK If I wanted a Corvette - fairly modern - what sort of prices are they 2nd hand? And what power & finally what MPG/6th @70mph - or top gear @70mph?
I recall following a C5?? at M4 J8/9 towards High Wycombe - Me in 3rd at 60mph coming off the round a bout him in front he nails it me too - all the way in 3rd & 4th the noise of the V8 was very very nice and the smell of slightly unburnt fuel & the heat from it was great (only draw back was either he wasnt giving it everything - or my expectations at how much faster/gaining ground over mie at those speeds it would be (it was a red one BTW)
LuS1fer summed it up very well, another nice benefit to a Corvette, especially if you plan to use the car daily, is that while everyone likes to bang on about cheap interiors and build quality, they are, overall, amazingly reliable and durable cars that can take tremendous punishment. When I was in College one of my Fraternity Brothers had an 86 C4 that he had picked up cheaply because it had something like 140,000 miles on it. He used to "drive it like he stole it" and would regularly take the thing to the dragstrip.. finally smoking the clutch. When we replaced the clutch it was the original!In the UK If I wanted a Corvette - fairly modern - what sort of prices are they 2nd hand?

What the hell is "cui"?
Does the O.P. mean C.I.D (Cubic Inch Displacement)?
American Gas & Diesel engines are expressed as either C.I.D. or Liters.
Now if the U.S Auto makers are going to change over to fancy euro/engineering terminanology then they should finally go FULL Metric so that poor b
ds trying to fix Fords for a living can cut back on tool expenses.

cubic inches multiplied by 16.39 equals cc.
IE 427cu x 16.39 = 6998 cc and divide by 16.39 for the converse.
The magic of it is one inch is 2.54 centimetres so 2.54 x 2.54 x 2.54 = 16.387064 cc
Sorry for being a crashing bore.

Therefore using the FIA conversion my 2ltr turbo is N/A 2.0x1.73 = 3.46ltrs for racing regs which in turn is 207ci.
How about a nice 997cc Fiat Panda... that would equate to ...60Ci!!!

No posts for about fifteen hours Mike, then we both post within a couple minutes.
Bloody uncanny.
Even more strange is that I only come on here a few times a week, as I'm too busy working on my website, so end up replying to posts a day or 2 later (like now lol).Bloody uncanny.
I'm going to dispute the fact we got the CU wrong on the RS2000, as infact it should now be RS9130 LOL.
PS that thing is mental by the way.
