Yep. I don't think people realize how great the LT1 is capable of performing. I would be extremely surprised to see it offered in the same year as the C7 but that would be awesome. I just feel like they are saving it for the sixth gen Camaro. Why would they put the LT1 in the fifth gen and then keep it in the sixth gen? Everybody would be complaining about how the sixth gen has the same V-8 as the fifth.
