Looking at the license plates, there are two different cars being filmed.

There was a rumor that a new Vette would be announced at a major race venue this summer. I would guess LeMans in June or VIR in August. I'll be at VIR... [emoji6]

So dumb. Keep the LT-5 DOHC or GTFO.

Agreed. A reworked pushrod is not a one off, engineered from the ground up engine.

With two inline turbochargers for each bank.

With two inline turbochargers for each bank.

A couple crankshaft driven superchargers to force feed the turbos too...
And, the exhaust tips oriented so they provide some thrust...

I took a look at this, and I think the 9000rpm range comes from looking at a different harmonic. I got more of a ~6000 number off that audio.

As much as I want the next Z to be DOHC and would love to be proven wrong, I think it's wishful thinking at best.

Road America......I might just be there!

I have my eye on a Gen 5 Viper, but if this car has a DOHC engine in it, I may change my mind.
