Why would a car manufacturer remove an option which would potentially sell a car? Isn't the goal of a car manufactuer to sell as many cars as they can? Simple business....

Yep and that is precisely why the 5th Gen ZL1 was called ZL1. It was supposed to be Z/28 but they felt it wasn't right

NA is dead. Please let it go. Those days are gone and over with. Chevy is in the business of building affordable record setting cars now, while still having to contend with the EPA and CARB regulations.
The LT5 ZR1 just shattered the VIR record. 750 horses was most of the reason why. |

Yep, just like the LS9 came to the 5th gen ZL1 when the 662 hp GT500 came out.

But seriously, GM can't keep playing the "Good Enough" game. It'd be nice if the Tripe Threat ZL1 was really a threat. Hopefully the Corvette going mid engine and such will clear up a bit of ZR1 you-can't-have-that-engine syndrome in the future |

I wouldn't really think of this like the C6 ZR1 and 5th Gen ZL1, I think Chevy basically never even considered putting the LS9 in the ZL1 back then so they developed the LSA with it. This time around we have seen how they are really pushing the boundaries so I don't see the LT5 completely out of reach of the ZL1, I don't think it's extremely likely but definitely possible. And for all of you N/A haters, just wait the Z/28 will absolutely be N/A if it does arrive this gen!!!!!!!!!
