Anyways, as much as I love the sound of a good V8, IF they could do the V6 right, I'd accept one in an SS model.
That said, I really don't feel that the V8 will go away completely in the next-gen. If anything, I think the Z-28 (or whatever the top performance model will be) will have a V-8.
The good thing from the article is the claim that weight may come down! A couple hundred pounds off would be very sweet!
