I guess that's good for the brand as long as the construction can back up the looks.

AKA a set of GM 6.2L engines like those found in a YUKON SUV with a supercharger slapped on them. They are pretty much just a set of GM SUV engines, supercharged, bolted onto a 557 mid section that uses 2 90 degree boxes so the engine stays parallel to the water, and goes through there own custom lower units to hold up to the torque. the actually engines are very simloiar to those found in say the ZL1 CAMARO at 580HP.

The sound of those engines is so sweet. Spent a half hour listening to other 557's on you tube till my wife and daughter told me if i'm going to listen to that to do in the garage. OK, no problem!

I think it is the same as the LSA in the Cadillac, IIRC. I had the GM Catalog in the shop for a while, lots of engines and fuel delivery options. The 557 at its core is a GM crate engine
