That yellow car is just hideous,the GM designers are looking at that thing and have got to be laughing and a V6 isn't going to to get it,real exotics don't have 6 cylinders,I don't care how much power the thing is putting out,it's an image thing. I be happy and honored to share the LT5 with the new car providing it's a mid-engined ZR1.

I don't know, the Ford GT is pretty exotic in my mind.

I have a theory about this forthcoming 32v engine. My hunch is a certain well known race and engineering company just might be contracted to do the cylinder heads for a low production run. Google who announced this spring they were opening a new $50m factory in a northern suburb of Detroit. That was to support a major OE component contract....
