if its true.........



BABY FINALLY GREW HER BALLS BACK!!!!!! hell yeah shes gettin the 427 again :evillol:

do ya mind postin a link to where ya got the info?? id like to to some more research myself.

That thing is going to be so kick ass. Well I wish they would stay with the 5.7 myself. One of the things I always loved about Chevy is that they didn't get their hp by raising displacement. They always did more developement on the existing motors to get more power. So I'm a little disappointed, but who's going to argue with 500 ponies. Can't wait to see how it compares to the other exotics and the Viper. One thing for sure, it will still be the best bang for the $.

i would say the 454 and the 502 may resurface in the near future.

well, dunno bout the 454 coming back, and the 502 would be a new addition to the vette lineup, not a comeback. Personally i dont see the need, the 427 is plenty big by todays standards, and will probly be a big enough thorn in chevy's side as far as CAFE ratings go. lol, now that i think about it, maybe thats why they picked up the aveo in the linup, to make up for the 427 ZO6 ;) but i still take my hat off to them for doing it. its a few years in coming.
