Though it was discontinued in GM vehicles in 2003, GM still produces the 5.7 Chevy engine today.

The 5.3 that is popular for GM vehicles today and in my 2015 truck is close to the 327 CI

The "small block" in whatever displacement is still around, heavily modified of course.  I remain amused that the Corvette is still using the pushrod design.

My HS car looked something like this one. Very large car, and very much a dog compared to what would be considered equal today. It had a 455 Rocket V8 that produced 175 HP. Yeah... dog compared to now. Probably got 8 MPG too. I don't remember exactly - didn't matter I guess.

Comparison Test: 2023 Nissan Z Performance vs. 2022 Toyota GR Supra 3.0 Premium (caranddriver.com)

2nd Place:
Nissan Z Performance
Highs: Engaging manual transmission, twin-turbo V-6 is willing and able, less cash outlay.
Lows: Tires are easily overwhelmed, outdated interior with disappointing materials, shallow trunk space.
1st Place:
Toyota GR Supra 3.0 Premium
Highs: Superb suspension tuning, pleasant ride quality, potent inline-six.
Lows: Wince-inducing exterior styling, small cargo area, infotainment could be more intuitive.
