The LS1 F Bodies were around for 5 years. I doubt the 5th gen Camaro will be around that much longer.

If the new Camaro is truly due in 2015 as a '16MY (still rumored, for what its worth)....and I was the Camaro team? There's no way in heck I'd spend the $$$ and time validating entirely new powertrains for just 1 or 2 MY of the car. But...I'm not them. |

A 5th Gen 1LE with an LT1 or LS7! The very reason I may not wait for the 6th Gen to buy another...

Do you have some inside information on pricing? Cost of the LS3 and LT1 that great. Why would it not be closer to the cost of the SS with 1LE pkg unless there are some other upgrades.

It's simple business. Chevy will not sell another Camaro close in function and price to a 1LE, unless if they removed the 1LE option all together. It's like making a ZL1 with an LS9 and selling it for $1000 more than the normal ZL1. No one would buy the normal ZL1. Same thing with a 1LE and a Z28. There will be a differentiating price gap between the 1LE and the Z28, unless if they can one of the models.

My only beef with the LT1 will that it will be hard and expensive to mod at first. And GM might make this new engine harder to mod like Chrysler did with the Hemi.
