Hi!

Do you guys know of any other cross plane v8s that rev as high as the good ole S65?

Been googling a bit, but not finding any definitive answers.
Thought I might ask on here..

Cheers!

I think the days of revving to 8k and above are largely over outside the Corvette and Ferrari's.

I think the days of a V8 outside of the Corvette and Ferrari's are numbered. Hopefully some muscle cars keep it, but I think Dodge already committed to downsizing, the Camaro is gone, and the Mustang is the best hope to keep it I think. (medium term)
