Since there is talk of possible mergers of the "big 3", we could be looking at a whole new C9 Corvette. Maybe a Triton V8 or a Mopar HEMI. :amazed:

From what I read, neither one is good as the LS engines...
only other option would be come V6 turbo as standard issue, one each....

I have to agree here.

LS engines may very well go the way of the dinosaur. If GM goes into Chapter 11 you can bet the Vette and it's engine will be gone. If there's a merger, no way they are gonna make 2 or 3 performance engines. Not economically sound. And if Ford or Chrysler comes out as controlling entity, the Vette may be killed completely.

Nope. Putting a Hemi in a Vette? Re engineering would be more expensive than keeping the car unchanged.
The specialty cars will stay, the mainstream cars will be merged. Why have 12 minivans or SUV's?

Uncle Sammie, or Barry O and the Dems who are running things, all want GREEN cars that go slow and get stupendous economy while running on biofuels and batteries. The specialty cars will be dead sooner than later.

I'm not going to worry about it,because there is not a damm thing i can do about it.

Oh I'm not worried. It's a win-win either way. The Chevy-engined Vettes will be worth more. And I think the hemi-engined Vettes will end up being faster than the current ones. A Triton-engined Vette will be hilarious to see. 
GM is in the worst condition of the big 3. I doubt you will see any merger where GM comes out on top. A "restructure" would mean adios to any luxury cars, or the return of smallers ones like that weird Cadillac Cimarron they used to make. ANY car with a V8 would be GONE. As Gene said, a V6 or 4-banger would be more likely.
