I love those motors. Many would argue that NASCAR is just a bunch of hillbillies driving fast in circles (I'll withhold my own opinion) but regardless, a motor of that size running 8-9000 rpms for a few thousand miles is pretty sweet.
I remember when a 5500 rpm redline on an American V8 was pretty neat.
Now we're flirting with 8,000?
Not to drag everything off topic, but I think once we see where the GT falls on this new model (1LE territory I'd imagine) we'll be able to have more fun discussions about special models for the future.
