Sticking with LT4 prediction....The game is for the fastest track weapon....That's heritage enough for the Z/28....FI's time has come. It's still Chevy/GM.

A brand new, very low volume, super-car unique engine still isn't in their mind-set. Maybe there is something in the skunk-works for a future mid-engine Corvette in a few more years. I think it's just too soon for the Z/28 if it comes out in the 50th anniversary year, which it should.

A slightly bumped up LT1 for the Z/28? I don't think so. That should be saved for a 1LE or re-fresh SS upgrade. A very high hp N/A v-8? They tried that road and had to turn around. I don't think they will build an in-betweener engine that can't keep up with the ZL-1 just to say that it's N/A.

The volume of Z/28 units just isn't/won't be there to justify a unique engine. We'll see, though!...Happy guessing!
