So, for Camaro comrades, is it likely to see the light of day in a "special" Gen-5 Camaro (MY '14), or will it be held as Zee engine of choice in Gen-6 (Alpha-based) versions? Why?

Yes I knew that, I was simply commenting on whether or not Chevy was likely to do a "one-off" or exotic design for a Z/28. I would not rule out the possibility of seeing the LT1 in a 5th gen Camaro once it has been introduced in the Vette, I think we'll ceratinly see it in the 6th gen Camaro.
