What I am saying is people around here, everything they love about the OHV engine and all that low end torque and not needing it to spin to the moon to make power. this upcoming engine will have none of those characteristics that people here love
I believe you yourself said in one thread you love the low end torque because it makes everyday driving fun, having power everywhere. This engine won't have that, and I am just curious to see how many of those people think this is the greatest thing ever now

Search my post history and you will find that I have said repeatedly, for years, that I get what the Voodoo is about. It would be insane fun to drive on a track with the engine held between 4500 to 8200 rpm. It would however be frustrating to try to maintain those engine speeds on the street.
The GT350 doesn't have a good low end. The Coyote with an A10 can compensate. A Coyote with a M6 will struggle in todays (16+) environment.
I reasonably expect that the C8 Z06, with a 5.5L direct injected FPC, is not going to disappoint on the street.
Time will tell. Can Chevy deliver an engine that doesn't burn a quart of oil every 500 miles or shake itself apart.
