The 2013 was the very last Big block Corvette as far as I know. In '13 I was present at a seminar in Kissimmee where this very subject was the topic. Engineers from GM were the presentators. That '13 has the last 427, factory installed by GM according to them. |

A traditional big block has nothing to do with a LS motor,sharing the same cubic inches doesn't make it a real rat engine. |

After five (71, 96, 05, 06, 09) I do have an interest...but hard to spend 50-100 large on a Vette when there are so many other pieces of equipment I'd like to purchase.

I preferred my Porsche over any Vette. No to mention, they don't even offer a manual transmission anymore. |

I don't have any plans to sell my '07, but fast cars don't have the allure that they used to. When/if I do sell it, I wouldn't buy any other car or spend the money on any other inanimate objects. |

Then the 396/427/454 etc. came out, different block, and were considered "big blocks." Thus, we have the 400 "small block" and the 396 "big block," and the 427 in small or big block. |

A couple little problems with my situation. The road floods about four times a year leaving ruts and there’s a slope where the gravel road meets pavement.
I had my fun. Time to move on and just enjoy car shows. |
