Why a TT? Why a small engine? The Z06 has more power than the GT-R, and gets better mileage. All without the complexity or heat of a turbo-system. It's just one less thing to break, and based on posts in this forum, and every other automotive forum, less things to break are a GOOD THING considering modern dealership's and their propensity to wiggle out of warranties.

I think people get caught up in the CDI factor rather than the "what works" factor a bit much at times. The GM solution is a cam-in-block design, yet it's very light, makes more power than anything else in its class, and gets 24mpg on the highway and 16 in the city.EPA ratings. Actual owners report 2-3mpg more.
