I'm really at a loss over people's obsessions with ultra-small displacement motors--ie all those "the NSX's v10 will be 3.5L" retards--do they all realize that the only reason the motors are that way is because the racing regs are defined in terms of displacement. If someone was building a race car with no limitations I would wager that they would not be using a low displacement motor. Why? the weight difference between a 2.4L and 4.0L v8 need not be very large, so why make a car less torquey and powerful than it could be? Redline bragging rights? I personally think 9k is plenty high.
I like direct ties to a racing heritage. The 7.0L mill in the Z06 has more than a few things in common with the C6R's motor. The 911 GT3. Ferrari's sequential shifting (like it or hate it, its a direct result of racing technology). A 2.4L Honda V8 would be sick. A rediculously short stroke keeping piston speeds in check, and a better valve train could result in very high rpm operation. Most people I show my car too are far more impressed with 9000 rpm than they are with 2.0L.
I'm just looking for direct racing technology. If I wanted a big motor, I would get something American.

I'm going with XVIPER, it seems like he has a pretty good source.
