With GM’s Release of a New 5.7-Liter V8, It’s Time For a $45,000 Base Model Corvette
There’s a new 350 on the (engine) block, it comes in three flavors, and is available at your local purveyor of GM crate motors.
The first flavor, call sign: “Gen 1” was designed as a replacement engine for 1987-95 trucks, vans, and SUVs, then there’s “Gen 1e LD” which covers 1996-2002 light-duty trucks, and “Gen 1e HD” intended for ’96-’02 Heavy-Duty trucks. To create this new family of 5.7 liter, 350 cubic-inch “service” V8s, General Motors started with a clean slate, no reverse engineering, or remanufacturing to be seen here. Next, they added new cylinder head and block castings, valve covers, oil pan and timing cover, forged steel crankshafts, CNC-machined cylinder heads, block castings, and other CNC’d components, and dipstick tube provisions for both sides. The (also new) four-bolt main blocks are roller camshaft ready and mechanical fuel pump capable.

Yesterday, the candidate released a campaign video via social media that featured Joe in his Goodwood Green 1967 Corvette. Titled “Joe Biden Gets Vetted”, the video is playing on the candidate supposedly picking his running mate, and instead, it shows him talking about and driving his midyear Corvette down his driveway.

Drift cars don’t have to be expensive, and they definitely don’t have to be brand new.
Most people think of cars like the RX-7, Mustang, Miata, 240SX, and IS300 when they think of drift cars.
