I think everyone already knows how muchBut, just to recap: What did wasdevelop an absolutely fantastic motor (the LS4, a smaller-displacement version of the Corvette-derived LSseries), and proceeded to stick it in a whole bunch of chassis’ that didn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of coping with all the power.303bhp and 323lb-ft of torque are respectable numbers these days, but the W-bodyplatform has roots dating back to the early eighties. And back then, they pretty much stayed away from high-horsepowercars with the technology of the day. Do you wonder why? Things like unequal-length high-angle half-shafts, loose and floppy steering, and useless brakes end up making theseem more like “Seriously Scary” than whatever it used to stand for.
