Just because the Gen 5 Z/28 was a 7.0 monster..doesn't mean that's the formula..GM's already shown it doesn't give a crap about "tradition" when they released the LT4 Z06.
That shows Corvette doesn't care about tradition, and we can see how that turned out.

There is no point in going to a smaller displacement engine. The Voodoo is 5.2 liters because that's all they can get from the block. In order to make the necessary power, they had to spin the shit out of it. Is it an impressive engine? Absolutely, but I would rather GM go with enough displacement to make power in a lower RPM range.
