You said the big word "IF". The original Z06 volumes were 1/3 of Corvette production or right around 10,000. Based on todays sales of the Corvette, any reasonable increase for this mythical Z28 production would barely bring it back up to the planned volumes. Of course there are a lot of things between here and there or now and then so not saying it can't happen, it just won't be for the volumes reducing cost scenario. And don't think I'm poo-pooing it. I love that engine. It's simply awesome in a Z06 and provides blistering acceleration. It would likely be noticeably less in a Camaro, but still...................... Quote:

So, what you're saying above, Number 3, is that a Business Case supporting more utilization of LS7 "capacity" would be a good thing? Hmmmm... |

Wow, it's great seeing the interest in this thread growing!
Its also nice to see others in agreement on the direction the Z28 should take. I know that the 427 Z28 would go down in muscle car history as one of GM's finest moments along with resurrecting the ZL1. Good Times, Good Times. |

Just leave the LS7 as it is.
Put it in a track/street designed (no roll cage needed) Camaro, throw the Z28 or Z/28 emblem on it and I'm out the door. (a happy camper, and I don't even camp) |

I honestly believe with the right suspension/tire set up we could get away with quite a bit less than 600 and still whoop the boss..... If that's what we are going for.... Orrrrr we could just make it 600 and go for world domination

All you would have to do is outbid Hendricks if there is ever such an occasion.
