Now someone needs to build one that is sized to fit in a 'vette! BTW, has anyone heard that Cadillac has or is going to introduce a V-12 engine? Or is this something I dreamed?

Now, if only that effort would have been applied to a real vette engine, we would see a real work of art.

The V16 is a twin Northstar concept built by Mosler Engineering down in Florida. This is the V12 I'd heard about http://www.canadiandriver.com/articles/jk/020206.htm variable displacement 7.5 litre V12. 750 hp, but only 450lbft of torque.
