Porsche tried to change their formula for success with the introduction of the 928 and 924/944 series in the 80's. Thankfully, they realized the mistake and return to their original plan and have not diverge from this path (excluding SUV) since.

I see no reason for GM to follow the beat of another drummer when their present plan is true to their past and success.
Guys you must have forgotten about the original C4 ZR-1, which had the LT-5.....The LT-5 infact, had DOHC. Only 375HP, which for the mid 90s was very impressive. Lotus actually designed the engine. Pushrods FTW!
