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.

All depends on the price.
