> the small block chevy has been out since what 1950 something? the technology has only changed so much, from crude materials to lightweight materials with fuel injection and wilder cams… chassis development is where they need attention… the IRS/leaf spring setup are not helping the vette put the power down at all.

you hafto realize that GM didnt directly design the Vette’s to be straight line runners…IMO, the F-bodys are better for that with the straight axle and what not. The vettes were designed to perform great at any task they were given. Not just haul ass in a straight line but to haul ass around a track and great handling and a smooth ride that wont break your wallet.
