Our first inclination is to grab the all-new 270-horsepower/275 lb-ft 4.2-liter inline six also out of the GMT360. (Rumors say this motor with twin turbos makes 350 horsepower.)

i have to say if they put a 6 in and be the hightest engine option i will be discusted. i like tta but still.

The other option here is to stick solely with the gutsy, tried-and-true 300-horsepower small-block V-8. It sounds right.

i dont know i have to say thats pretty sad figureing that the new corvette has more than 400, in 3 years i say it should atleast be up to the hp rating of the corvette or at least close to it compared to one that is 3 years older than it, but hey i that would be cool to me because i would not have to worry about one beating me especailly with a 6
