Yes. they were serious. why? all the other competitors with V12's are kicking their butts... Although the v12 in the 760 is smooth, it's a boat anchor and low tech so I wouldn't even go there. As for large displacement motors, GM pushrods and even the Viper motors have a hella lot more reliability built into it (just look at how competitive the C6Rs and not high stressed like the M motors. Even the PTG team is not using the m3 6) There is no replacement for displacement (except FI of course)
BTW, drove a Ford GT this weekend.. holy crap, what a beast...
