Nope, I think he's missing what motor is really going in there.
The LSA......not missing it at all. But guess what? That kills the idea of keeping the price down....so now your talking about a 50K+ Z28? And how many people are gonna drop that kinda coin on a Camaro? Not a Vette, not a Caddy, but a Camaro?

What would be outright hilarious is if they did an iron block version for the Camaro so the CTS-V crowd would still feel exclusive.

With the exception of the original Z28, the Camaro has always gotten a watered down motor from the Vette. Why can't the Z28 be a car unto itself. No borrowed motors, no trying to please everyone with gadgets and ubber refinements. Build a bad mofo car, keep it simple, keep it clean, give it the HP, the suspension and good seats and let it rip. If it kicks the base Vette's rear end, then the Vette team needs to up the ante.

Who is the target demographic again?
