"The engine is likely to be extremely high-revving, perhaps climbing to a near-Formula One-class 10,000 RPMs, suggested one source involved in the project."
Since todays F1 engine revs to 18,000 rpm (regulated by FIA rule) let's hope this "one source involved in the project" will be replaced.

Why does it scare me that the father of the Aztec (Mark Reuss formerly Holden Australia now grand pooh-ba) is the one who wants to bring dramatic changes to the Corvette pertaining to big cubic inches and big horsepower?

After talking to "Corvette traditionalists" about a high revving, no torque engine, they didn't like the change at all. They prefer the big cube, low revving, high torque engine avaliable now. Can't say I blame them as I can buy a high revving, no torque engine in any asian performance car already.

My 1978 Silver Aniversary L82 4 Speed only missing option was a big block. After that was changed, a set of Hookers with side pipes, American Racing Wheels, and Radial TA,s it became the perfect car. It now has 69,000 miles on it and yes I do have the factory parts including the L82 in storage.
