uh....not sure how much you know about domestics but yes it is a small block...its also what you said but it is a small block

LS1/LS2/LS6/LS7 - Generation III and IV small-block
A small-block engine is a North American V8 in a family of engines which generally have less than 6 liters (360 in³) of displacement, although some derivatives have grown larger (up to 427 in³, 7.0 L).

The LS7 achieves enormous displacement by having a very large bore and stroke in the same compact block as previous small-blocks, but has very little space between cylinders. This would not be acceptable in a truck engine, and was not possible forty years ago. As a result, 7.0 L is a displacement ordinarily reserved for big-blocks, which can achieve it with fewer compromises in reliability and less engineering effort.

it's hilarious how there are people out there that just look at 1/4 mile times and assume it's an amazing car.

I know Talon TSi's that run 11s, but they're still pieces of shit.

Anyways, The Corvette Z06 is a street legal race car that can handle and accelerate, probably one of the greatest sports cars ever made IMO.

People complaining about the interior, the Ferrari 430 isn't that great either. You don't buy a Z06 for comfort and amnemities, look at the S2000 and the Lotus Elise. It's no-nonsense, spartan and plain sports car.

I saw a guy online that bought a new Ferrari 360 CS and bought navigations for it and LCD screens. I mean seriously, wtf?

Uh, you ever been in one? It's nothing special compared to say the 599GTB, but all modern day Ferrari interiors are top notch, with the possible exception of the outgoing 360 Modena which had some pretty cheapo touches.

spartan interiors are different than uneven gaps, cheap plastic and general crappiness.
