Default Autoblog builds an LS9

Hey ZR1 fans - - here's a new article, posted on Autoblog, featuring an LS9 build at Wixom PBC. Autoblog reporter worked with Mike Armstrong to complete the build.

http://www.autoblog.com/2009/11/17/a...-corvette-zr1/

Article also has an interesting note about a new 5.5L small block that is coming to Wixom? I hope that is indeed true.

The 5.5 is the GT2 engine I believe for next year in ALMS.

Can't imagine this would be very high volume, but I'd love to see us get it. We're nowhere near building at capacity right now. But markets can change quickly, especially niche markets.

Thanks to all of you loyal customers - your enthusiasm helps us through tough times!
