The LT1 is so fat with low end torque that those of you who buy one will forget the LS3 ever existed. You're all hung up on the mere 20hp advantage now, but just wait...after you have lived with the added grunt and the improved fuel economy, we'll see how disappointed you are...

I can't believe the amount of dialogue over this.
Just wait to see the actual numbers. Whatever they turn out to be, the C7 will be superior. Take a deep breath and enjoy the next few months.

If everyone keeps beating all the horses to deaths with their clubs, there won't be any left for the C7. Beside, this is America, where you just shoot them in a drive by.

GM is notorious for underrating the H.P. numbers .

Why build a motor with so much torque when you just dial it back out with torque management?

I would say Brands like Nissan Porsche with the GTR and 911 Turbo would fit this statement better. Those cars are always faster than their HP/lbs would suggest. You might be thinking of the old mid-years where the numbers were kept low for insurance purposes, not today though.
