Thanks, Dad. CorvetteActionCenter.com now has specs and technical photos
of engine components. Pretty cool stuff. Photos of the High Pressure fuel
rails and the cylinder heads, etc. Like to hear more about how the Rev
Matching feature works. Why the dual clutch transmission wouldn't work
(too much torque? Not sure I would agree). Cylinder deactivation in a
sports car? How does that work out on the track? Can you deactivate it?
