Yup, when you look at the picture in the article, be sure to read the disclaimer at the bottom ...

(Yes, we know that's the current Corvette motor pictured above. We obviously didn't have a picture of an engine GM hasn't officially announced yet.)

Hmm mm mm. We see quite a few 600hp motors running around in the LT5 platform and with a bit of GM cash infusion, it is not hard to immagine a lighter version pumping out a few more horses. Hope I live long enough to see that happen.

I've been alluding to this connection for awhile. I have some contacts at Cosworth, but they stopped short of naming the exact application. The timing and volumes fit perfectly with the new LT5, though.

The must be swinging for insane #s if they went with a 6.2L...This car is going to make Bugatti type numbers tuned. Think about the Slegehammer making 898hp with a 5.7L back in the 80s.

If you are Reeves Callaway you have to be saying to yourself...you see I had it right back in the 80s, turbos are the way to go. Now everyone had TT cars.

Instead on Lotus/Mercuiser, we have Cosworth? Or maybe Cosworth design, Merc manuture Chev? Vely intelesting.

I just hope that people aren't mis-interpreting TT V8's for Cadillac usage.
