[DeTomaso] NPC: New Corvette Engine

[Ken Green]

The new engine sounds more like the Ford Eco-boost truck motor than a Ferrari.
 
I don't think the engine is as much of an issue as the interior.  Just seems like Vettes look a little plastic inside.

Anxious to attract the sort of high-performance buyers increasingly drawn to European sports cars from the likes of Porsche, Ferrari and Lamborghini, General Motors is planning some major changes for the next-generation Chevrolet Corvette – starting with a high-revving, small-displacement powertrain, that will substitute for the big V-8s traditionally found under the hood of the Chevy two-seater.
