Re: More Rumors

It's really hard for them to get away with any racing references in car commercials anymore. This is the C6 commercial that Chevy was forced to pull off the air:

Shows a kid driving, car jumping... all clearly a fantasy... no good.

I can't imagine them making 50,000 units and putting 6.1s or 6.4s in all of them. Especially since the SRT version of a vehicle usually comes out a year after the actual vehicle so the Skunkworks team has time to really tweak a high-performance package. And since the current SRT engine is a 6.1, I can't imagine they'd release a 6.4 that wasn't an SRT, nor do I think they'll have an SRT version the first year.

That rumor sounds awesome, but it doesn't make a lot of sense.
