Point 2. Fleet cars need to be cheap and V6 is a better sell then V8. 5.3 would probably cost more. GM makes a lot of sales to fleets. I rented a V6 camaro once. I don't think they had any Z28s.

Actually they are more going to the point of what trim level your car is. I remember when i went in to get insurance for a monte carlo and impala, I told them I would have the six cylinder version, and he said, "that doesn't matter, I wanna know what trim it is" I said why, and he said, "If you has an LS then i will charge you the minimum, if you have an LTZ It will cost more, and if you have an SS, you will recieve the maximum". I proceded by saying, "well thats fu**in bullSH*t
" And this was the time before the montes had V8 engines in them, and the SS was just a electronics package.
