Ford hasn't answered the LS7 because they don't have a Z06 competitor. It's not like GM is cranking out LS7s for the Camaro's sake. The Camaro got the LS7 because of the Corvette. The Camaro won't get an engine without the Corvette getting it first. If GM says the Corvette only needs the LT1 and LT4 well that's all the Camaro will get.
The Z/28 is impressive but, as you said, it did nothing new. Brakes, aero, light weighting etc have all been done before.
If you ignore the BOSS 302LS, various Cobra Rs and Terminators, I guess you can say the Camaro team did it first.

Boss LS was a joke. Z/28 did everything new in this segment. Never been done before to that level. This new car from Ford is their attempt to prove they can do it, too.
As I said - I just like the way GM engineers cars better than the way Ford engineers engines with wheels.
