Of course then you are in corvette territory, and the climb starts up that ladder until you get to z06/GTR territory.

Exactly my thoughts? You could apply pricey logic going upwards from a Chevy Aveo...and end up with a Veyron. Lol.




Dan, Steve... question on our 5.0's. Do they come with oil coolers? And if not, are they needed? My guess with all that oil (aren't we 7 qts?) not needed, esp if not tracked? Just wondering if I'll see 235 plus temps again in normal daily driving.....
