Default 2014 z28 ls7?

Anyone else hear/read the good news? Hopefully they price it between the ZL and SS to compete directly with the Boss... If they make it with the ZL-1 auto, I might have to get one.

I don't know if the boss will hang with that. If it does that's very sad for GM.

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

If Chevy can manage to not stick their now motors into an oversized pig of a car (Vette excluded) then they might be on to something.

When will we see a 7.0L base motor in the Camaro just to keep up with the smaller, more powerful 4V/VVT/DI motors? Lol

Lol Steve/Tim, I just thought some might be interested. I like all cars that go fast, I'm not really brand loyal one way or another.

DirtyD, from what I read so far, this car will be limited production to end the current 5th gen body, then the LT1 will go into the 6th gen Camaros.
