Hopefully the huge success of the fifth gen and he rave reviews of the Z/28 were enough to make a case for a high horsepower NA motor. It's the only piece missing from the puzzle. We know the platform is more than capable and that they would have zero trouble taking the handling up a few thousand notches.

I agree with both of you. I'm interested to see where this goes. I just hope GM steals all of the thunder this go around...
