DeFazio said the big car manufacturers aren't interested.

Thats because they built ceramic engines 20 years a ago and found them to be unreliable. He also compares output per pound... why not give out a horse power and torque rating?

Because he hasn't built one and hasn't a clue, would be my guess.

..Didn't Mazda do this with ceramics about that time? It didn't go over very well for some reason.

My thoughts exactly. High rpms means little unless you can convert them to torque applied to the wheels.
