| Re: Corvette ZR1's LS9 inspired by BMW M V10? I don't think "inspired" is the right word, I believe it might have been the benchmark for Chevy. But if it were trully inspired by the V10, the LS9 would NOT have been supercharged.

| Re: Corvette ZR1's LS9 inspired by BMW M V10? wth, at the end of the day, the only thing that matters is that the guys are complimenting the S85 and saying its a work of art!

| Re: Corvette ZR1's LS9 inspired by BMW M V10? Put the S85 in a car that weighs as much as Z06 and I won't be surprised if it is faster or as fast despite being 2L down. Of course it would also need the SMG, but that engine was designed for that transmission. Can't wait for some Wiesmann MF5 numbers. |

| Re: Corvette ZR1's LS9 inspired by BMW M V10? Not a bad car to be inspired by, but how can they compare a FI to NA engine? Either way, the new LS9 unit is badass.
