I only reason I would suggest that is because of the V8 VVT, seems like a strong "Rally" or "Euro" sport kinda of a motor, which would fit the kinda of car a Z28 comes to play in with the handling and more "fun no matter the RPM range" kind of driving-which is what you get in the likes of the STS. But the 4.6 VVT would seems a little outdated for a Camaro.

I'm sure it'll either be a Gen IV (i.e. LS3-based) or Gen V. I remember seeing images of a 6.2L L92 head a few years ago that had a DI injector in the combustion chamber, and with all the DI engines there are out there now, I could definately see that by the time Z28 returns. I think a 4.XL engine may just be a bit too small for a serious performance Camaro because of the "lack" of torque. I was reading a 1st Gen Camaro reference book last night (because I was curious where the Hell I came up with the LS6 454 possibly being available, COPO-style, in a '69) and saw some track numbers for the DZ Z28. To say the lack-luster 15-second 1320' time was a little slow is an understatement, but that dang thing trapped at 101 MPH at the end of the 1320'! All horsepower, and not a lot of low-end torque... It's not a great analogy, but that's kinda' what I'm seeing in my mellon. VVT would be great in any engine though, if you ask me
