Yes that is correct. They were speaking of a direct injection twin turbo V6 for Indy car application. It used to be that the Indy V8 had to be 2.5 liters or less and they would allow larger displacement for the V6's. That was back before that whole thing split into 2 different factions, CART and IndyCar. I'm wondering what the displacement will be for this racing engine-if it's at all close to 3.6L.
I guess the hope here is that racing technology will trickle down into passenger cars, namely the Camaro.
I'd totally be down with a twin turbo V6 in a Z28 featuring less weight, better handling with acceleration slightly better than the current stock SS. That was what the original Z28 was all about.
