I don't see another NA engine for Z/28 happening. Following C7 Z51, the 1LE will be the NA track car and FI will be used on the Z/28, ZL1
If they don't have a good N/A engine in the pipeline, then they should drop the Z/28 badge. There is no need to use it when they have the ZL1.

I guess we have to wait and see how far that willingness will go. 10 days and counting for the first taste.

I'm not saying they do but GM needs something to counter the 5.2 Voodoo and the future GT500 engine. I don't see the LT4 doing both effectively.
