A recent Popular Mechanics review of the upcoming Pontiac G8 mentions rumors of an future model with a 400-plus horsepower Corvette LS3 engine and a six-speed manual transmission. Of course, I am not saying this is going to happen, but what do you Corvette fans think of having a Corvette engine in a differnt model. Should a Corvette engine be Corvette specific, or just another engine that GM shares across it’s brands?

The Corvette Z06 will be featured on the National Geographic Channel on November 29th. The show will air at 10:00 pm this Thursday.
More than 50,000 people a year visit the Bowling Green facility to see Corvettes being built, but “the “Ultimate Factories” crew was able to capture a lot of the behind-the-scenes work that goes into making this great vehicle,” said plant manager Wil Cooksey Jr.
Building the Z06 requires attention to detail. For example, each 505-horsepower, LS7 V-8 engine is hand built and autographed by the worker who assembled it.
The 2008 Corvette Z06 has a starting price of $71,000. Estimated fuel economy is 15 mpg city and 24 highway.
If you do not get the National Geographic channel you can view the trailer for this show on the Internet at http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid192889067/bctid1309638525
