I think we are over-analyzing. The Z/28 will have a V-12 pushing 750+hp with a red line of 10k

And Cadillac in 1931 did make the V12 if memory serves me.

Don't forget that Cadillac also had a 7.1L and 7.4L V-16 engine... why not drop that in the Z/28 Camaro......

Still think they should have done the Sixteen as a pure 'WOW!' project. Hand build it (to eliminate tooling cost & enhance the 'prestige') and do only a tiny number per year (perhaps as low as 16) at an extraordinary price. Any losses on the project get deducted from the Cadillac marketing budget.

I have a theory that the FPC was being developed for the Ford GT and they decided to change it up and go ecoboost to push that agenda. |

Either way, the RnD costs are being carried only by the GT350s, so they can put that engine in the Mustang and make their money back.

I still think it will be some kind of a tuned LT1.

The LT4 is the most likely, followed by an upgraded LT1.
