And that that engine in modern corvettes. are alouwd to use 1 to 1 1/2 quart of oil every1500/2000 miles.
And that fuel injections only hase 2 benifits.nr one is that is gives MPG at 50/60 mph and afther that it uses just as mutchs fuel at trotle as a regualr old school V8 engine. nr 2 you dont need to tune your ignition/carb twice a year.
Did you know that the LS7 engine in race corvettes only last 35 hours. then need a compleet rebuild ,due to a engine disight fauld where the piston squirts are to short!!!!..
Im a oil sponser in a international super car race class in Europe
LS 7 corvettes, Moslers V8 stars against ferarris / lamborginies/ aston Martin /
marcos / BMW / Mercs. ecetera.
The LS engine hase superior acseleration for sure top speed is great to say the least.
durabilety is mutch less and maintinese is mutch higher then there euro counter parts.
Also the rediculess price tag on hp parts for the LS engine and the corvette that GM and there vendors in the afthermarket artifisialy keeps high to push the corvette into the same leque as ferrari ecetera is rediculess to say the least.
buy a stok LS7 with 500 hp then try to buy a 700 hp LS 7 engine from a reputable engine builder like Kteck ecetera and your paying a exstra 10 to 15000 usd!!!. what is wrong here.........
If we build a 700 hp aluminum traditional ponticac engine mill with the same 4 inch stroke it wil beat up on the LS 7 engine torque wize plus durabilety it wil rev just as high and fuel consumtion will be the same.
same thing with a SBC ore BBC for that matter.
also for the record the GM LS7 hase NOTHING to do with a traditional chevy engine disighn its a CORPERATED engine build. ITS NOT A CHEVY..

This may all be true, now take a stock old school and a stock LS engine, bang for buck, superior fuel control = longer life. I was not talking about professional racing, who can afford that?
Oh and GM stealing from Ford or Chrysler does not bother me. I love my L92 and could care less if it was built by a terrorist. ( well maybe I would not admit who built it if that was the case )
