I think there are two main problems against a 5th gen Z/28.
1) GM doesn't want to put top tier Corvette engines in the Camaro.
2) GM wanted to build a GT500 fighter and wasn't expecting the horsepower ass kicking Ford served up. But even then, GM left the horsepower alone and decided the Camaro was now a track car and quit the horsepower wars. Once again, because they use a less capable engine from another car, leaving a more potent engine in the Corvette. Can't step on toes now can they?
