Ever wondered what would happen if a Pontiac Aztec and a Corvette C5-R had a bastard child? Niether did I, but apparently GM did.

I was wondering why a pushrod would put out such impreesive HP and torque numbers than read it was a tuned version of the Corvette C5-R engine.

I wonder if this Aztek still has the expandable tent option......

The Aztek got trashed by Jay Leno last night when Rosie o Donnell said she bought one. All he could do was laugh! That thing is a piece of crap. It went out of production for a reason; because it was so damn FUGLY!

I just don't even understand the point. Yeah It's kinda funny that they dropped a C5-R engine in an Aztek. But why? What a waste of money. Why not spend the time and money designing something cool, that they might actually sell.
