The question is, can either the Mercury or the Kasse engines make that power and meet 2018 emission standards?

Didn't Trump sign an Executive order lowering emissions standards on cars ?

ZO6 motor for testing a ZR1 chassis and body ? the original ZR1 motor was Mercury Racing engine.

I know it's hard to say but I think the blue oval's the one that has the V6 in the GT.

To those who said (like I thought) that you'd never pull 750hp out of a naturally aspirated motor, this one produces 775@7500 on pump gas!

This issue isn't making the power NA, it's doing so while meeting emissions, NVH, and fuel economy standards that GM has to abide by that aftermarket engines don't.

The original ZR1 engine was designed by Lotus (with GM requirement to keep 4.4" bore spacing) and manufactured by Mercury Marine. Not quite the same.

The one GM may be substituting for a cheaper option.

Hopefully they take a lesson from Alfa/Ferrari/Fiat on that one. The engine in the Quadrofoglioboglio sounds fantastic. The TT V6 in the ATSV sounds like a diesel snowblower.
