However, I do agree that the OHC design has some real benefits and advantages. In fact I see it becoming the norm very soon. Ford has matured the mod motors exponentially since the old Cobras. They are truly a force to be reckoned with now. In that day, they were a joke till Ford started slapping blowers on everything.

As awesome as the LT1 is, I would trade the pushrods for a DOHC/4V set up in a second...that would be a monster, probably 525 ponies easy. But, I won't complain about the LT1 one bit!

For 98 the 4.6 4v and LS1 in the Z28 were both rated at 305 hp.

I never said all DCT's. Many of those are best left to shift for themselves. I said specifically, the transmissions that Ferrari uses.... |

That it sure was, my '00 SS M6 with just a lid dynoed 325 SAE corrected. That car made over 400 to the wheels with just a cam, intake and headers. I still miss it...ran 11's with ease.

It will be great to see the GT350 VS 6th. gen Camaro SS lap times.
I'm also sure that the SS would not be a match for the GT350R, the right match for that fight is VS the Z28 track ready Camaro that is the same league of the "R" |

The gt350 and the GT350r are fantastic for the pony car wars.....as the following year gm will probably roll out a carbon fiber wheeled z28 with a hotted up LT1 engine for the same 67 grand....and then we ll have another big shoot out... Ford will then rollout with the GT 500 and crush the camaro SS at the street.... And then the following year GM will defeat the GT500 with the zL1....or it will be a tie....or the hellcat will win... It's all about getting free publicity in the form of the automotive media....both the interweb and in print.
