The engine is not any different than any other high performance GM small block. Okay, the transmission is new, but built by Tremec. The frame looks pretty stout to my trained eyes. Other than layout, what really is that new that GM doesn't know how to do? Caddy V-series cars are just as, and more powerful. The frame has hints of Alpha in it. GM has plenty experience in building reliable cars.

The electrical system is new for the Corvette platform, but not new for GM. What is high-risk in your mind?
