I think the new 5.5L V8-T will be a great engine...The 5.4 L V8-K was/is a very nice tried and trued motor but the postive displacement SC has it's inherent limitations; the use of the turbo will allow for better tuning envelope and range of modifications.

I don't think I could pull the trigger on an SLS. The look just doesn't blow me away and for that kind of money I have to absolutely LOVE how a car looks. For example, a Gallardo Spyder would be worth that kind of expenditure to me because it's gorgeous from every angle. The SLS....well, not so much.

You think bi-turbo, it's gonna be a while before we see one, 2012!!
so I hope it's worth it.

Why is it they are changing the SL shape so soon. My SL55 came out in 2002
and lasted until 2008, the new SL shape came out in 2008 and it's only 2010,
and in 2012 it would be out for 4 years. I know many people don't like the nat *** engine, but the shape seems fine, there's enough in California!!
