Default Re: mini zr-1? 4 cam 24 valve 300 hp

I was watching one of the episodes of that Ultimate Factory series over the weekend and almost fell over when they showed the new base V6 for the camaro.

Watching them build the motor; I thought I saw some genetic connections to our LT5's. I could be wrong.

Made me think what would direct injection do for an LT5?

To Paul's point of the square peg in the round hole....looks like hind sight may be 20/20 in the "it's to expensive to mass produce " vein. Where would the GM DOHC development be by now if a different decision was taken back in the late 80's.....they beat Ford to the punch and then gave up.
