The Voodoo is the highest displacement FPC built and used in a sports car. Technically Ford did the exact same thing Chevy did, put out their existing V8 to the largest bore size they can and make the valve-train as lightweight as possible to promote high RPM. So really the only thing innovative is the use of FPC.
Agree on the wheels being a first for a mass production car and will probably set a new trend.
Like I said before, definitely innovative, but Ford really used the same formula everyone else does, lighter weight, more power, better suspension design. Not breaking new ground just pushing the envelope to new levels.
