knighty should be qualifying in the top 5 on the gridknighty should be qualifying in the top 5 on the grid
sorry for the bumb steer, I thought it was 5 litres.......but the fact still remains, aston know their engine is too small for GT1 competition against the Corvettes 7 litres........more capacity = more torque.......long stroke = more torque at lower revs.......

In which case, I dare say the Aston V12 will make reasonable LMP1 engine……..it certainly worked for the BMW's back in 99!

Just googled it…...Aston is a 5935cc…….bore of 89mm…….stroke of 79.5…….hmmmm.....not the best starting point, as they will need to rev it harder due to the over squareness, but it could be worse!


I heard somewhere Katech have an 8 litre version of the LS7 on the drawing board.........just incase aston or the Dodge viper start challenge their supremicy
