I'd also like to see a basic 5.3 HO engine with 340HP with a killer T56 TREMEC trans as an option. In a more basic stripped down affordable model, like we had in the 60s. A choice of 6 engines and 4 transmissions! I miss that.
Blame the government. Every powertrain option needs to be certified for each vehicle, and GM cannot spend the time or $ certifying 6 engines and 4 transmissions.
