Exactly! The LS9 was a more special/exotic engine with all the titanium internals and such, so that made for a bit more reason to not bring it to Camaro, even though I still think they should've, even if it meant taking away some of the expensive parts. The LT5 is pretty much just a blower swap with additional fuel, so it should be a simple, low cost upgrade for the ZL1. GM can always add more power to the ZR1 and even put the LT5 in the Z06 as well, if they feel like they need to, but I don't see why they would. The Vette is a more exotic sports car than the Camaro, and its lighter weight and wider tires will keep its performance ahead of the Camaro, even with equal levels of power. Make it happen Team Camaro!!
