As long as their is sufficient demand for the V8 I don't see it going away. Displacement may go down though. I do think we may see both a FI V6 and a V8 in the lineup at some point. If the FI V6 proves to be popular to the performance-oriented buyers, then it may put the V8 in jeapordy, but more from a price point than existence standpoint. I can't see even that happening anytime soon. The LT1 will be around for a while, and GM didn't take the time and money to develop that with plans for it to be obsolete in a few years.
