GM can do fine with teh Camaro if its produced along side a sedan, so that they can adjust for demand. If sedan sales are up, and coupe sales down, they can produce more sedans then coupes and vise versa. Flexable production is the biggest deal. IMO, its in the bag. The car made a fantastic impression on EVERYONE there, and we all voiced our opinions on what we didnt like.
We also stressed the fact of a mid level V8. Be it RS, SS, or whatever, it needs to be in the fight with the Mustang GT's mid level V8.
I dont see the LS7 going in, but possible a variation of the new 6.2 liter V8 that is going in the Escalade, that is a half way stop of the LS7 and LS2. Dubbed, the L92 now, it uses LS7 head technology with its offset rockers, but the engine block casting is much like the LS7.
The 6.2 in the truck makes 403hp. In a high compression, performance car, 450-460 wouldnt be too suprising.

How I see the line up?
Base LS gets 3.9 VVT V6 making 260hp, mated to 6spd manual or auto, standard equipment like other cars in its class.
RS gets 3.9 base or 5.3 optional. RS gets lower ride, better gfx, better handling, etc etc, flash for not a lot of cash
SS gets 5.3 base, and 6.0 optional. Better brakes, better handling, flasher design, sculpted seats, and higher standard options
Z28 gets 6.2 standard with 6spd semiauto or 6spd manual. Big cross drilled brakes, large wheels and tires, advanced traction control systems, handling additions, aerodynamic additions
is sent into battle against Mustang GT in SCCA Grand Am racing, and perhaps other forums of racing.
