Also, the ZL1 uses an LSA motor which is in the CTS-V. I think the reason for it is to create more sales and because it will give them the "fastest" NA American Muscle car probably (against the Mustang & Challenger).

That's what I meant, LSA (not LS9). Too many damn LS motors. I still don't think they'll offer the LS7 in the camaro... but we'll see. Why offer 500hp when you can have 580? I see the LT1 going into the camaro instead.

The LS7 is only used in the Z06 and is hand built for it, so i'm guessing they don't have a huge stack of them lying around like they would for other LS motors.

Care to place a bet?
