I'd like to think that Lotus probably owns the rights to the design of that LT5, but maybe GM is waiting for the patent to expire or something. I hope they go back to the DOHC with the next gen vette. Didn't they shelve plans to build a new DOHC family of engines right when the economy tanked and they took all the money from the fed to stay in business? I bet we see that ramp back up again soon.
