New C7s
So, I just learned tonight that talks are out there that the new C7s will have their engine dubbed the LT1 for the NA, and LT4 for the supercharged version....
Will we be making accommodations if this is true??? This may be that thing to get us into LSX categories (meaning comperable to the popularity of LSXs), since it will be new, and will most prob be used for at least 5-10 years...

i don't see us being allowed in ls events. we are to old on an architecture for them.
To be honest i don't like them being called LT1/LT4. there not being called that to pay homage to us. we got the LT1 call sign. because GM was honoring the gen1 LT1's and we shared similar architecture to them. sorry for ramble don't like people stealing my motors name or honor. lol94 Trans am.

I didnt mean to sound like I wanted us in LS events... Im comparing a new and growing platform by the name that we use.... being a benifit to us, to make an additional section and now have an additional platform that is not the "dying breed" that people are not making products for... but rather that sponsors will be anxious to join us because this new LT"X" will be the next hot thing....

I saw where it was that the confusion in my initial statement came from... I added a clarification statement to it.

well with how the LS plat form is going, it was time for them to make a new tag since i think LS1-9 are already used.
but i have to agree on not liking the idea, first there will more then likely be no resemblance to the LT or SBC platform and second, i really don't want the "other" crowd invading this site thinking its for the GenV "LT's" (if that is what they will be) and turning this site in to the "other" place.
but after doing some looking, i cant find any thing that actually says it will be "LT".
“The Gen-V small block is an all-new, state-of-the-art engine family that will offer more efficiency and refinement than any other small block in its more than half-century of production,” said Jordan Lee, chief engineer, in a press release. “For customers, that will mean cars and trucks that deliver more while using less gas to do it."

Even if its just the site being put back on the map... some benifit may be sponsor products for us... but more importantly...events like the shootout could have another class...where vendors would want to come out (even if only focusing on the new gens)....but our evens would grow... could have bigger financial backing... more events... even if our old school stuff rides the coat tails of the new ones... we benifit one way or another..... and now when ls guys have probs with their cars we can tell them the LT1/LT4 MOD response...lol

Didn't realize there were folks that didn't know this info yet. If you guys want to see what the C7 looks like go look at Jalopnik's renderings... Although I thought the other engine was LT5 not LT4, either way the LT1 is definitely "back."
Hopefully GM will do the right thing and offer oil catch cans with these new direct injected engines or else the DI LT1 will suffer the "red headed step child" fate as the 90's LT1.
PS - Everything I stated in this post is rumor mill information that's readily available by reading websites like Jalopnik, GMI, etc. Nothing in my post is confidential information.
