That's great haha.
I have no doubt Team Camaro has the ability to build a monster of a Camaro. The issue is whether or not they will be given an engine capable of besting the 5.2 Voodoo. I just don't see GM coughing up the money to develop a one off engine for the Z/28. The Z/28 was built with the LS7 because it was available after the Corvette moved on. With the lack of a proper Z/28 engine, I don't see a repeat of the gen 5 Z for the 6th gen. They may do what they did to the C7 Z but it won't be the same as the gen 5 Z.
Unless GM is willing to spend the money on a new engine, I don't see how they can take the GT350 head on. They will have to use the LT4 car to take on the GT350 and the GT500. The GT500 presents another problem. Ford is clearly willing to go big with horsepower numbers and they know full well what the LT4 is capable of. I wouldn't be surprised if the GT500 had a power advantage nearing triple digits.
The 1LE may or may not be needed if GM puts MRC on the base SS. I would love to see the 1LE return the way they built it on the 5th gen, if not more hard core. Yes I may be biased because I own one but I think it's one of the coolest cars built in a long time.
