Hello to all:
So today I hear that Obama made the President of GM resign...wow what is up with that??? And that GM May have to file Bankruptcy...
I am not a GM fan...mostly a Ford man but I just can't see an American institution go down the tubes, because they only asked for help.
Well I guess if you put your hand out to the Government, they can alway us it to slap the Poop out of you.....

Next-Gen Ford Ethanol Injection Engine, Codenamed Bobcat, Eyeballing Diesel Market |

According to our friends at PickupTrucks.com, Ford is developing an engine which might offer a powerful alternative to diesels at a lower price. Codenamed Bobcat, the gasoline-powered engine allegedly begins with Ford's EcoBoost architecture and then, with the help of ethanol injection, goes places turbocharged engines can't normally venture. By using a secondary set of injectors to shoot ethanol from a separate tank into the combustion chamber, compression ratios can be drastically raised without pre-ignition, thus boosting fuel economy another 10 percent and overall power output quite a bit — think 500 HP and 700 lb-ft of torque from a five-liter V8.

The ZR1 Corvette is one serious piece of American metal, with the athleticism of a track star and the brute power of drag racer. While light weight materials, magnetic damping and 15.5-inch Brembo brakes sounds impressive, the real meat lies under the hood of the fastest ever production Corvette. GM's supercharged 6.2L small block V8 packs at least 620 hp and nearly 600 lb-ft of torque, and its duty is to finally put the Corvette into the supercar club. We were lucky enough to spend some time with Ron Meegan, the assistant chief of GM's small block engine program, and he gave us an engineer's view of the supercharged LS9 engine. Hit the jump to learn why GM didn't use the 7.0L V8 from the Z06, why the Eaton supercharger is so special, and whether or not GM is being modest with the ZR1's projected 620 hp rating.
