Trouble is they used a certified motor, the LSA, and did everything else underneath it to make it a be all to end all Camaro to satisfy every component of high performance and make it as dominating as possible across all fronts of the racing scene. Trouble is, due to power and weight ratio, it's underpowered. Why not up the power? Because of cost effectiveness, certification, and GM's long running approach with not telling the engine shop to upgrade a standing model vertified motor. GM does not upgrade motors, they make new ones. Off the shelf has, and is, the way to do things at GM with motors. Ford is different. We discussed this motor situation until blue in the face. fbodfather has explained all this to us about the expense, time factor, and lenghty envolvement it takes to bring a change to market with GM engines and the certification behind it. Certification. We have to dance with who brought us to the prom. As far as Z/28 goes, GM made enough cabbage over time on the LS7 program to make a balls to wall final exit of the current 1LE model powered by the LS7 at cost and kick Ford in the pants.
