I can really hear and understand what all of you are saying with the corvette being the supreme GM car. That it should get the Gen V motor first. But in the same regards, it makes more sense for the Z28 to get it first, it is a higher volume car (the camaro in general) the LS7 is expensive as hell and would make the camaro version that much more unattainable for the average Joe. GM is in the business to make money and they would sell a hell of a lot more "Z28's" then they would the new corvette with it in it. That recoups the R&D costs quicker. Who says that the Corvette can't get a better version of a DI GenV motor? Maybe more along the lines of a 6.2L DI? LS3 motor we have in our cars is the low grade corvette motor and it is rated for less HP than in the corvette. It can stay the top dog, but Gm can make more money off of the 5.5L in the camaro...just sayin.
