I'd rather see a 7.0 LS7, a 6.2 LSA, or a 6.2 LS9.

You can always get more out of a bigger engine. Scew smaller motors.
I didn't buy my camaro for gas milage. I bought it for pleasure !
Nobody buys a Camaro SS for gas mileage, but in the infinite wisdom of our benevolent government, it would be better if you did, so it is going to be forced on you whether you like it or not.

I would love to see all this power adding technology attached to the LS3 or larger engine (think 500+hp SS), but the realities 35 mpg CAFE will soon make big displacement V8s impossible except for low volume, high priced cars. Once these draconian fuel economy mandates are in farce, the only viable options for a future SS will be downsized V8s or turbo V6s. These new engines are the best you can expect in this regulatory environment.
