Also you have to remember, the Gen5 ZL1 WAS ACTUALLY the Z/28 until just before the Chicago reveal. GM had second thoughts, but that doesn't mean they won't go there, they almost did.

Not in my opinion it wouldn't, and I'm usually kind of a hard sell. I won't be in the market for the car either way (priorities), but turbines have been spinning on F1 cars for a lot of years.
One issue is adding all that weight to an already front heavy car. This is where the Leno TT V6 car was interesting. Still adding weight, but to a lighter engine, and they could make serious HP.
