When has the General limited themselves to only two v8 options at one given point.
In 2011 you had the l99, ls3, lsa, ls9, ls7 and all of the vortec derivatives. All engines that fit their target hp for a specific vehicle goals/performance category.
Let's not forget that the LTx's are fairly new so the fact that we may have more engines in development unknown to us (454ci LT8/L88 ??) is very real.

The L99 is no longer needed because the LT1 already had AFM. The LSA is no longer needed because the LT4 is cheaper than the LS9. The LS7 is not being replaced because they couldn't meet the Z06 power goals with a naturally aspirated engine.
I'm talking about LTx engines. The EcoTec3 engines are different.
They may be developing more LTx engines but I would be very surprised, unless a Grand Sport is being worked on.
