God, you are stupid (and nice spelling and sentence formation, I must say). I get almost 30 mpg on the highway. THIRTY. That's pretty close to a B18C5 engine, except for having almost 3 times the torque, over 3 times the displacement, and about 1.8 times the power. And my car runs 12's with only an airbox lid. If that's not technology, what is?
News flash for you two domestic haters:
Variable valve timing is 70's technology.
LS1 has nothing in common with a chevy 350 besides having 8 cylinders and OHV layout (it isn't even 350 ci), and it was designed from scratch for the 1997 C5 vette.
Ford's modular V8 is an overall newer design than a B series honda I4.
Can't anyone debate this stuff without throwing their ignorant opinions ('dumbestics are usng 1950's enjins and they don't have no tecknoligy' )?
