I'm all for a LS7 with reduced weight, call it the ZL1 and only make a couple thousand of them. At least in the first year. don't do a Yenko unless the Yenko folks get involved. That was what was cool about the original Yenko Camaro's, the yenko folks where the ones who came up with that name, don't just slap it on and reduced weight camaro with a new engine.
GM took so long doing the Camaro right for it's grand return and looked what happened...they are kicking everyone right in the crotch. The Camaro was done right and they have to do a different model the same way. The car just has too much history in muscle car land.

Guys, GM has said this already. They don't have a problem stepping on the corvette where HP numbers are concerned. They did it with the CTSV for starters... They are different cars that sell to different market segments.
Putting the LS3 in a Camaro proves that they are too worried about it.... Base model Corevette is pretty close in performance to an SS... Corvette is better for sure but close enough to show that GM sees them as two different markets.
Just saying.
