I have had two 8k+ redline cars and high revs is the best for me.

Don't get me wrong I think it would be cool as hell to see it, I just don't know if it would make sense is all.

That don't seem so great, should make well over 600HP at that CID, no?

Depends on the spec. An BMW M550i vs M5, one makes 456hp vs. the 600hp of the M5, same engine and hot-V setup, slightly different tune.

MB is doing this too, using the same twin turbo small displacement engine in different cars with Hp ranging from 450ish to over 600. I think it’s a wise decision for GM adopt this strategy. Can’t wait to see what the larger engine produces in a higher performance car like a. ZR1/Z06 and hopefully a ZL1.

Well, the crux of the Z28 is a N/A motor. That is the sense
