I am asking cause the rumors around the new C7 have it that we could be looking at a 10K RPM V8,,,if that is the case, I will have to test drive it (at least).

Where did you hear this? I find it hard to believe based on their heritage and history of big displacement V8 or now FI v8 for big power (a la zr1).

A high revving engine would crap on the fuel economy that they already are known for, let alone improve on it. Don't get me wrong, if they do it I would be the first to get it, I think the c7 will be a ridiculous performer. Already barely anything can touch a c6 and it is near 7 years old
Fuzzybam just posted a link to an article about that which is not where I read it. Meaning 2 different sources mentioned the 10K RPM. It could be true!!
