I climbed Haleakala twice by bicycle, it's quite a funny thing to go from 0ft elevation all the way up to 10,000ft! I bet you can climb it a bit faster with you Camaro

It's a great climb.

Absolutely. Major weight loss, NA, a 9000 RPM redline, then lose some of the creature comforts and fat in the ZLE...Sold!

I'm thinking that it would not be that problematic. Minor modification. LT2 (LT1/LT4 block) and LT6 fit into the C8, without modifying the chassis. The heads sit a little taller but you dump the SC and create a lower valley.
Plug and play... It's a Chevrolet.

Perhaps, I was read that multiple sources stated that the Blackwing just did not bring the performance that Caddy had hoped for. LT4 was time tested and sitting in the parts bin Again, GM loves the plug and play capability.

When's the last time you saw a Camaro commercial from GM?
They totally gave up on the model. It isn't the styling (which is great), it isn't the performance (amazing), they just want to sell trucks and SUVs (and now EV's).
It's that simple and that sad. Don't overthink it.

Yup, a very sad truth. Nothing will ever replace the ethereal experience of ICE and a manual. The acceleration associated with EV doesn't even come close for me.
