So You work at a dealership that sells Cobalt SS's and Sky Redlines? and Solstices?
a non-existent Chevrolet / Saturn / Pontiac store
U can't even spell warranty
If your gonna lie , atleast make it believable.
Again what is the name of the dealership

the intake valve stems are not hollow
EVOS also have sodium filled exhaust valves.

Titanium in it's naturally occurring isotopes is as strong as a mild carbon steel, and much lighter as well as having a higher melting point. If you alloy it with molybdenum or even tungsten then you have a considerably stronger metal, not to mention if you use the lesser charged allotrope (more reactive).
I ------- hate cornfuzed.

Traction Limited
Even with the gigantic meats bolted to the backside, the ZR1 will be what is euphemistically called "traction limited." In other words, all that power just goes up into expensive smoke when you try to lay the power down.
And since launching a car with so much horsepower can become a violent, axle-hopping mess, Chevrolet has come up with two novel countermeasures.
First are the rear shocks. When you're stopped and the clutch pedal is depressed and you pile on some revs, the car assumes you want to launch it hard. It automatically softens the compression damping of the rear shocks, and this allows the rear end to squat and effectively shift more weight to the rear of the car for added traction. At the same time, the rebound damping of the rear shocks goes up to 99 percent of full stiffness. This means that the rear cannot spring back up under power in the up-and-down monkey motion of axle hop.

It'll produce more urge than the absurdly powerful twin-turbocharged Mercedes V12 or the race-bred V10 of the Porsche Carrera GT or nearly any other internal combustion engine ever produced for vehicular transport. Most important, the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1's V8 makes more horsepower than the Dodge Viper's new 8.4-liter V10.
And it will carry GM's 100,000-mile powertrain warranty when the ZR1 goes on sale next fall as a 2009 model.
