Just an observation here - "5% MPG improvement per-year will drive US development crazy"

I'm all for the Z28 but this sounds crazy for GM to release a V8 LSA based Camaro one year before 2012-2016 CAFE standards. If it's really a go will it become a smaller engine -think nostalgia 1969 DZ302

The new CAFE standards apply to model years 2012-2016 for all passenger vehicles sold in the United States, including cars, light trucks and SUVs. Significant improvements in fuel efficiency will be required of all new vehicles in 2012 model, with yearly gains of 5 percent or more in subsequent years.
