An LSA Camaro should be somewhat limited and expensive...the LS7 Z/28 would make a great interim step to that.
I'd encourage you to read the posts It's been posted that LS7 is on the way out, and regardless of what people's preferrences are between it and LSA, I think that, on the whole, it's cheaper to build and stick LSA in Z28. That's my opinion, but it's been pretty widely accepted for a while now that LS7 is going out of production in the next near years; I can't see GM putting an engine with that limited a future, and add all the tooling and engineering costs, in Z28.
