One sticking point on the engineering side is whether Chevrolet can apply cylinder deactivation to the V8, though it’s coupled to the rear-mounted transmission.
Engineers are reluctant to try new solutions to the situation, because the solutions could result in problems with drivetrain quality or power.
Why all the interest in cylinder deactivation in a V8-powered sports car? Because post-2016 fuel economy standards are expected to dictate it…”
