The review sucks, yeah. I just think it's an issue with the engine, not so much the packaging of the Z06. The CTS-V just came out, give it a little time, I'm sure similar problems will pop up. Not sure if it'll be as bad as the Z06, but it may still happen enough to be a problem. The packaging in the Z06 could be making the problem worse, sure. I think GM tried to do to many things with the LT4. They wanted it to make gobs of power, making it the most powerful production engine GM ever put out, had to pass strict emissions requirements, AND they wanted it to fit under the low hood of the Z06 which is why they went with that small blower that they spin to the heavens. So I guess, in a way it is the packaging. But the packaging affected the design of the LT4 so unless they change some things around, which I'm sure in the CTS-V and the ZL1, they have more room to work with, I don't see the problem getting that much better.

This is just my opinion, I hope I am wrong. I'd be all over a ZL1 otherwise. Hell, I'd be all over the Z06 actually.
