So... will people who get rid of their LTX...

Direct injection and high pressure main fuel rail, means fancy injectors and fancy fuel pumps.

I am wary of this, for now, I will leave all that headache to the truck.

Actually, there's nothing fancy involved. It's a regular system until it gets up to the high pressure manifold. There's a cam driven pump that drives the pressure at the rail, anywhere from a general range of 700 to 3000 PSI. But other than that cam driven pump/rail/injector setup, it's all normal normal in the rest of the fuel system.

LOL....



MUSCLE CAR:

SPORTS CAR:

I think it fits in either.

It states a Muscle car is a 2 door, mid to full size family car with a V8. i don't see a family of 3 or 4 jumping into a Vette and going to the market and filling the trunk up with food.

Ok mister technical....lol

we technically don't have a true muscle car anymore. The Camaro no longer is a technical pony car(2 tons with climate control, factory stereo system with sub, and onstar, and car that lets you know oil change is due don't fit)

How many performance vettes have you seen with a 6 over the years? (beginning don't count. They was slow lady cars)

And i never said vette.... If GM won't put a V8 in the vette. There not putting them in a Camaro, SS ect.

If i get behind the wheel of something with the name Camaro, Corvette or uses SS as its only name badge. It better have a V8.

The imports can keep there turbo V6's in there performance cars. Im a American so ill keep the V8

hehe i like to razz people about it at times


I seen that you replied to a post stating a "vette'" then you replying "muscle car", i thought oh why not get a little technical


But to the rest of your reply here, No i have not seen any 6s in vettes since they came out in 53 and 54. But if we look back over the years, what about the TTA knocking the vette off there? It was a turbo 6. Granted it was a dark time for V8 performance then from the factory. And a Camaro not always is a performance name, as we all know. Vette i'd say yes, and SS, that wasn't always attached to performance, remember the early Chevy IIs. just a trim package. I do understand that your thinking if they drop a V8 in a Vette they will do it to the rest of their lineup. I don't know, i'm not the one who calls the shots at GM. But would make sense that they would drop it in others also. As for imports keeping their turbo 6s. I have enjoyed my Grand National with the turbo6 and glad GM used it at the time rather then their v8s they where offering. And looking back there was a few turbo powerplants that would surprise guys in V8s. So i for one welcome a turbo in the lineup. But just don't think it's sutied for a Vette and it's history. But i'm in a rush to get to work here, so if any typos or ramblings going on here, that is why lol.

I will never drive a TT V6 muscle car. When we start that the theorist will win. And i don't like theorist!

Call me old school. When i thank of a muscle car. I thank of a V8 not a 6

Those were broad comments... lol

Im sorry but when 99.9% of the wo rld hears the words American muscle. L79 option Nova ii, SS Camaro, V8 Corvette, 396 chevelles come to mind.

T/TA GNX don't pop into peoples heads. Don't get me wrong they are great cars. But that is not what American horsepower is build on. We have always gone big. We had a couple short years playing with the turbo 6. But by todays standard they won't shock and aw a modern V8 off the floor(time may change though)

Plus a healthy V8 sounds way way better then a V6

[MeanTA]

And no raaz here. Just thank a 6 banger is a retarded idea.

[Badbird_96]

Just gonna drop this here.

In 1981 when the 280zx turbo came into america it was the fastest production car in america including beating the majestic vette.

That said continue with the banter haha

Good thing its not 1981 anymore. Cause the new vette would stomp the 270z.

700psi injectors are not fancy?

Cam driven variable pressure (assuming its electronic PWM) high pressure fuel pump, yea, not fancy at all.

Enjoy those injector prices.

Could it be carb'd?

But then your eliminating one of the main innovations of the new lt1....its direct injection
I'm sure it could be done though lol

I understand... was just looking to simplify the thing that seems to intimidate people.
