Here's hoping that one day, cars will be lighter instead of larger engines in heavier cars.
Who cares. A V8 will typically last longer than a 4-cylinder turbo rated at the same power. I would love to see how reliable a 650 hp 4 cylinder turbo would be on a daily basis. I don't want a four cylinder, not after the wonderful Technicolor Zetec ATX Mystique Experience.
Anyway, I'm surprised at how many of you don't think this is the most evil creation yet to come out of GM. a 6.2L with a blower. YAWN you say, even though it is more powerful than ANYTHING Ford has in production, not to mention Mopar or the imports.
