Re: Lutz: "all the way up to 500hp or whatever size V8 we have".
why are we, the f-body faithful, arguing over something as trivial as z/28 as top dog vs the SS as top dog?! the z was a high winding corner carving scca special! the SS the drag and street bruiser (at least until the 4th gens) are you telling me theres not room for BOTH!!!

How does this sound?
Corvette 450HP/BaseV8 Camaro "440"HP
Z06Vette 500HP/Z28SS Camaro "490"HP
Blue Devil 600+? HP
The Base Camaro and Vette will share an engine and the Z06 will not have the LS7 anymore, but the N/A version of the Blue Devil's engine. The Top level Camaro will then get a "detuned" Z06 engine. That still leaves the weight advantage (500lbs+) and an entire super Vette to seperate the Corvette from the Camaro.

Keep in mind that "440hp" is going to placed where our Z28 is now. The "490HP" car is going to be a "limited production" car. It's already been said we won't get a true mid-level V8, more like a V6, V8, and a super V8.
