First Drive: 2008 Chevrolet Corvette
Autoblog.com 
“Torque is good! More torque is better. For anyone who likes to drive, an engine with a stratospheric red-line is fun for a while, but a fat torque curve means acceleration is just a squeeze of the right pedal away.
Compared to a Ferrari engine, GM's classic small block V-8 may seem crude and unsophisticated, but the latest variation is anything but. The basic architecture of the 2008 Corvette power-plant dates back to 1955, but aside from some of the basic dimensions, this is a whole new beast.” Read the complete article at: http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/28/first-drive-2008-chevrolet-corvette

UAW-GM plan: More cars to be made in BG
Set for 2012, production shift for Saturn Sky, Pontiac Solstice could create up to 2,000 jobs
By Ameerah Cetawayo, The Daily News
The General Motors Assembly Plant will see two new production lines and up to 2,000 jobs added to its roster - if a tentative agreement between the United Auto Workers union and General Motors is approved. UAW Local 2164 President Eldon Renaud said Friday that GM will move the production of the Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky from GM's Wilmington, Del., plant by 2012 in a tentative agreement reached between GM and the UAW.
Tom Wilkinson, director of news relations for GM, declined comment to the AP, but the production shift is in the language of the proposed contract, which Renaud said he provided to the AP. The contract is expected to be official by next Sunday, according to Renaud. The move will mean an expansion of the current production line to three shifts, and an increase of up to 2,000 jobs, Renaud said. Renaud called the announcement a dream come true because of the union's long-range planning in hopes that GM would add more products to the plant.
