I was just at a national corvette show this august and the talk amongst owners are they are not happy with the LT1, Most want there LS motors back. The feeling is Chevy stayed with the LS motor so long it was rock solid but when the emissions cert ran out, they hastily put the LT 1 as replacement and did not do enough development time. True or not once the fan base begins to doubt, you have problems. And articles like the MT one is not going to help.
