Pity they're not going to produce the Cien to put it in

Wasn't this engine also destined for the rather lovely Cunningham C7?

if they're going to build a v12 with 500+ hp, there will DEFINITELY be an in-house supercar, meaning the cien, as well as the cunningham since thats why Lutz was pushing it in the first place. WOOHOO!!! go bob! Also, since ford is going to be producting the gt40, it makes sense that gm wants to embarass them. 7.5 liter v12 vs 5.4 liter v8. all new art-and-science vs 40 year old design. No question the gt40 will be bitchin, but I think the general gets the bragging rights on this one. sad though, the viper will have real competition.
