I can't even imagine what a 496 in a new 'Vette or Camaro would be like! If they can get big block numbers out of their current small blocks (like the ZO6 'Vette that is DEEP in the 12s!), imagine what they could do with the new BRUTE (496)! Maybe this engine in a 1/2 ton truck could be an answer to the Lightning?

Heck, with all the computers that are on the cars these days, they might even be able to make a big block somewhat practical!

I am also anxious to see how well the new Duramax diesel performs in the real world. I hope it lives up to the hype and returns GM to the top of the truck market where it belongs. If all turns out well for the new diesel or big block, I might even look into getting rid of my current tow rig ('91 crew cab, 454 w/ Paxton SC, 4-speed w/gear splitter) for one of the new HD models.
