I had forgotten about the Trail Boss. Isn't it pretty much just a lift kit on a Z71?

Yeah, if I remember right it’s a 2” lift on the Z71 and some unique stickers. The lift is nice but a full ZR2 treatment would be cool.

Well, the stickers make it all worth it then. Reminds me of some recent discussions around whether or not the RS package (on other Chevy's besides the Camaro) counts as a 'performance model' or not. I still maintain that a minor suspension upgrade does not count as a performance model.

Nothing yet. I look at the recently announced CT4 and 5 Vs. I believe the 2.0 currently in the Camaro is going away and is certainly leaving LGR. So I could see those in the mix. Has to be a hybrid if not even an EV. But as there are no prototypes on the road we are at least 18 months away from anything new.

An interesting engine failure in Mrs. Number 3’s XT4.
The new family of turbo 4 cylinder turbos includes a technological marvel 3 stage cam. I have a video way too big to post but basically the cam has 3 lobes per valve. Max lift for power, low lift for FE and no lift for cylinder deactivation. Well 5,000 miles in the engine developed a grinding noise. After a visit from a GM engineer and 4 weeks the verdict is a new engine. At first it seemed the verdict was a failure of the complicated cam. But now a new engine. Glad its a lease.

Is a cam lobe with 0 lift still a cam lobe? Feels like it shouldn't be, since its just a circle at point, and non-circularity is kinda what makes a cam a cam. But it is still 'instructing' the valves on what to do, its just telling them to do nothing.
Yet another philosophical question raised on a car forum.

Hoping to find out. I have a close friend that worked on this engine.
