I saw that but when I think it out, I'm not sure it makes sense... IMHO:

Let's say this thing makes 550-600. I imagine they'd stick it in a car, similar to a ZLE or an SS 1LE. Let's say, because a lot of the drive train after the engine is similar (manual tranny-wise), they'll stick it in an SS. They could add ZLE Multimatic dampers (saving 60-lbs, was it?) over the MR-shocks. They'd add bigger ZL1/E brakes, which would add a little weight, and be back pretty close to an SS 1LE in mass with another 100 HP.

They'll have a car that might be as fast or a touch faster around a track than ZLE for more money? I don't know... Where does this car fit in? An SS 1LE already competes fairly nicely with a GT350R. We don't really complete know how ZL1/E competes with the GT500 yet. I don't know...

I'm probably projecting. I think GM's already missed the boat on this generation in a way. I think they made SS too much better than the GT, so it's not a great match-up. 350s don't match up too well with ZL1s. And there's nothing that quite matches up with the GT500, IMO. ZLE is looking pretty good, but I think the jury's still out. I don't see an NA fitting into the lineup well I guess. It can't cost less than ZL1. So it will cost more than ZL1 and perform less than the GT500?

I also doubt GM's doing anything else this generation. I don't have proof, or have heard more than any of you, but I think this generation is pretty much done. I want to see something different that the proposal above, but that's a different topic.

I'm probably 100% wrong, HAHAHA.
