Thanks for the link. :dthumb:
I haven't read it yet, it doesn't mention any improvements compared to older models, like lack of midrange?

Well it claims this...

Originally pioneered in Yamaha's YZR-M1 MotoGP missile, crossplane technology puts each crank pin 90 degrees from the next, with an uneven firing interval of 270-180-90-180 degrees.

This uneven order does something pretty radical. It actually helps the power build more smoothly. That means smooth-as-silk roll-on delivery out of the corners, with bagsful of torque, followed by very strong, high-rpm power. It's like having two engines in one: the low-rpm, torquey feel of a twin combined with the hyperkinetic, high-rpm power of an inline four. As a 2009 R1 rider, you'll enjoy more linear throttle response with awesome power and traction exiting corners.


Sounds good but the proof will be in the test. :dthumb:

Ok...not so unbelievable...as much as AWESOME.
back off topic for a second...what's unbelievable to me is that it is factory production. Unfortunately, it comes with a helluva price tag.
I'll be getting a new sportbike long before I get a new vette.

Because of the styling and performance.

The interior is better but still not great.

I don't understand why people pay so much for Harley Davidson's...but they do.

styling and performance.

#1 its a higher spec of vette but its still a vette and looks enough like regular ones that non enthusiasts arent gonna be impressed.

#2 90% of the folks buying them will never access those limits. now thats not usually a huge deal, hell bikes are a great example of that. however, the way chevy built that power is THE SAME EXACT WAY YOU WOULD IF YOU WERE MODDING THE CAR AFTERMARKET! as the oem (and especially one asking so much for the product) they should have added power in a way we cant. be it an lsx based v12 or some exotic unobtanium technology. to my mind theres no reason to buy the fucker and almost no reason to build it :rant:
