What might work for you would be to sell your LS3 and buy the LS7 and drop it in, that would offset your cost of the LS7 quite a bit. Or why don't you create a pseudo LS9, add a supercharger and any needed beefing up and there you go, your own personal super camaro.
I think that it is too easy to say, "just throw it in", or "screw testing just put it in I don't care". If it took them approx. 3 years of development for this car, sus. powerplant, I would figure two more to develop a hi. po. version.

So come on GM just make a Firebird, throw some snowflake rims, a screamin' chicken decal and a gen 5 motor. I would buy it.

All kidding aside though, It would take too much time and money to try and rush a Z28 type model. Just keep your fingers crossed that this wonder of a car sells itself and your dream may come true, as might mine.

LS3 has to be around 8k at least. Thats only 5k more. Id pay an exta 5-7 k for an ls7
