Like Cheech and Chong said...If it looks,smells and tastes like dogshit...

Had someone try to "Correct" me and tell me that the modern GM LS Motors are NOT Chevys. Huh? As I recall the first ones were introduced in the 1997 Corvette, the 1998 Z/28 and Trans-Am and 1999 Chevy / GMC trucks. They have been used in millions of Chevy / GMC trucks for the last 17 years as well as various Chevy and other GM models, and 2009 and later Camaros. If that doesn't make them a Chevy, then what the hell are they??  Way Back in the '70's, because of smog laws, GM started playing musical engines-guess what-the 305 V8 in your '79 Cutlass was a Chevy, not an Oldsmobile! The 403 in your California-emissioned Trans-Am was an Oldsmobile, not a Pontiac! The 3.8 liter V6 in your LeMans was a Buick. The 2.5 liter "Iron Duke" 4-cylinder in your Chevy Citation was a Pontiac, not a Chevy! Pontiac and Oldsmobile are no more. And there hasn't been a "Real" Pontiac V8 engine built since November 1977. ( A bunch of L78 400s were stockpiled for '78-79 Trans-Ams. )  A "Real" Oldsmobile 455 hasn't been built since 1976 or a 350 since 1980. The anemic 307 V8 in some Cutlasses and Buick Regals in the '80's was Olds designed-but they've been defunct since 1988. The 3.8 V6 that powered millions of GM cars in the '90's was Buick designed.  After the restructuring of GM following the big crash of 2008, only Chevrolet, Buick and Cadillac remain. The Northstar engines in some Cadillacs are Cadillac-engineered, but the LS motors in the CTS-V, and Escalades are CHEVYS!!!!  After the merger with Daimler-Benz-the Chrysler Crossfire was basically a re-badged Mercedes SLK 230!!!  The 4.7 liter V8 used in Dodge Dakotas and Jeep Cherokees was a Mercedes design!! It may have said "Magnum" on the air cleaner-but it had zero in common with the '92-2003 318 / 360 Chrysler engineered V8s, or the 2005 and later Hemis!!  The V8 in Volvo S80s and other models was actually designed by the Yamaha Motorcycle company!!  Anyhow-I don't want to ridicule anyone-but do some research and have your facts straight before you try to "correct" someone on something they said, that they have researched!!  Mastermind
