that's definitely some news to me - the engine, i mean. so it will still be OHV but with dual cams? both cams are at the bottom of the block? weird...

if they designed a whole new block, they should've just gone DOHC.. always gotta be different!




as for interior, i never give a damn about interior. i never pay attention. hell, i dont even listen to music while driving, because id rather listen to the car. but i'm weird like that.

with that said, ive never had complaints with vette interiors, as far as quality and look goes. i do however complain about poor driving position (aston martin), badly placed shifter (03 cobra, civic si), offset pedals (bmw), etc.

well, considering it's not a high revving motor it reduces the number of parts to drag on the motor, and also less to service, and also less cost to build. I think considering their goals for the motor its actually a pretty smart move. I am a big fan of OHC, but they seem to be making this work really well.

I gotta admit I'm really diggin on this car

I'm like brant, I really dig that it harkens back to the shard sweet like the C5, but more aggressive, subtle but tasty.

by the by , ford is making a 6.X-liter v10 based on the modular 4.6



if that's the actual production vehicle, it's focking gorgeous! so subtle, yet so refined!

i'm glad they finally got rid of the body side molding

side molding sucked. the only good thing about it is you could take it off

the lines and curves are similar to the drawings, I just don't have good pics yet that show them off. I'll post when I do
