I facepalmed when the woman asked if there were any plans to put the Corvette engine in. What does she think the LS7 is?

That is the old corvette engine. The new corvette engine is the LT1 I believe. Referencing one of the best small block chevy engines ever made in the early 70's. I could be wrong but that is my understanding of the new power plant options for the corvette's.

The LS7 is still a Corvette engine.

I believe this is the Corvette engine of the future the woman in the video was referencing.

You can best believe the questions were planned out before the interview started.

I know about the LT1 but it doesn't make sense they would put it in the 5th gen Camaro.

I'm actually curious if we will see it in the '15 model year?
