Agree it is the type of head:
Ford had to do a spray bore to get a slightly bigger 5.0 liter. You can stroke an engine so much before piston speed and cylinder wear become an issue, piston rock too. DOHC is big, just open a Mustang hood. We already know the spay bore is bigger externally at 5.0 internally. The LT1 can go to 427 OEM. I say Ford's GT40 already has gone to V6 DOHC, I can't see GM needing both DOHC and turbos... It does NOT add up to me. Plus the ZR1 would seem to be faster than the GT40. Once again what market will a mid engine DOHC Vette capture over its current market, to my mind nothing. The Vette would LOSE market share if it went DOHC and or mid-engine and or turbo. IMO of course.
