I can see it now.. the 2010 Corvette C9... 8.5L of V8 muscle, and revolutionary QUAD-CAM-IN-BLOCK™ technology! See it rev like a 10 year old OHC V8! Watch as it expires after 50,000km! Marvel at the marketing effort and acronym count that accompanies its release! Be astonished at the total lack of other manufacturers being interested in adopting its design principles!
I love the line, "blurs the line between OHC and OHV engines"... truly hillarious, that's made my day!

The thing has a short stoke so piston speeds are kept low, and it runs titanium rods, valves etc. Big deal. Bathurst Clevos revved to 7000rpm in the Ph3 back in the 70's without the fancy components. Most engines could be made to rev to 7000rpm with the right parts.
