Looks cool, except one thing, it's not that big of a deal. I mean, technologically speaking, it still uses cams and pushrods, so it's just a better breathing dinosaur. My .02.

Did you notice the symmetrical turbo setup? Billet turbos? Billet intake manifold? 2,000 hp and daily driven? Pretty impressive to me.

No, it's cool, definitely shiny, but it's still just a pushrod motor. Chevy motor at that. No thanks, I'm waiting to be impressed with something advanced, not just neato.

But I'm an asshole and lots of folks would isht their pants to get one of those. Hell, I could use one, but I ain't gonna pay for it.

Insane, but 100% useless on the street. Badass on the highway though.

NRE does great work.

If the EJ257 wasn't blowing pistons left and right, you guys may be in a better position to criticize pushrod motors. Otherwise, it's impressive when a Z06 can get almost 30mpg highway and run 4 sec 0-60 all day on pump gas.

Agreed!

I don't see too many advanced engines making 2,000HP.

Ej257 doesn't blow pistons left and right. Thats retarded. Probably last close to as long as the chevy motor. and 30mpg is pure bullshiest imo, i'd never drive it like that and skip gears shifting. It already has insanely long gearing.
