It really isn’t. I’ve been building fast supercharged, turbo’s cars for many years. It is nice to see a manufacturer do it if that’s what you mean. They are actually building stuff we’ve been doing in the aftermarket for years which is great to see. Why they waited till the government is trying to get rid of the ICE is what’s disappointing. Better late than never though

@@Full_Speed_Ahead What you build and most any other aftermarket performance company vs what GM builds aren’t even on the same level. Sure you can buy all the parts and assemble an extremely nice vehicle, that is both quick, fast, and handles well, but it’s just that, you’re mostly buying premade parts, and putting them on a vehicle, sure some custom work is performed, but it’s nothing, technologically speaking compared to what GM is doing. GM is literally starting from scratch. They forged pieces of metal, and cut them into complete working engines, and more. The engine design, suspension system and all the that’s involved in proper layout and setup, and making it all work together, and then be so confident in your vehicle that you provide a warranty on it, and know that it is going to be popular and it will sell hundreds of thousands of them. etc etc. it is all on a whole other level compared to what you do

I would suggest maybe having someone who does know a lot to go over some questions with him. I’d love to know what material the rings are made of, what thickness, pins look DLC coated so are they, what bearings did they use, and on and on.
